(Heb. Giloh', גַּלֹה , Exile [Gesenius] or circle [Furst]; Sept. in Joshua Γιλώ v. r. Γηλώμ and Γηλών , in Sam. Γελώ v.r. Γωλά ), the last named (after Goshen and Holon) in the first group of eleven cities in the south-western part (Keil, Joshua page 384) of the hill-country of the tribe of Judah ( Joshua 15:51); and afterwards the native place or residence of Ahithophel (hence called "the Gilonite" [q.v.], 2 Samuel 15:12; 2 Samuel 23:34), whence Absalom, on his way from Jerusalem to Hebron, summoned him (perhaps from a temporary banishment or disgrace at court) to join his rebellious standard ( 2 Samuel 15:12), and whither he returned to commit suicide on the failure of his colleagues to adopt his crafty counsel ( 2 Samuel 17:23).
