pal´tı̄t ( פּלטי , palṭı̄ (as Palti); The Septuagint has: Codex Vaticanus Κελωθεί , Kelōthei ; Codex Alexandrinus Φελλωνεί , Phellōneı́ ): The description occurs but once in this form and is then applied to Helez, one of David's 30 valiant men ( 2 Samuel 23:26 ). Helez' name, however, occurs in 1 Chronicles 11:27 and 1 Chronicles 27:10 as the "Pelonite." Doubtless there is some confusion of words. The word may be given as a patronymic of Palti, or it may designate a native of the village of Beth-pelet mentioned in Joshua 15:27 and Nehemiah 11:26 as being in Lower Judah. Helez, however, is described as "of the children of Ephraim" in 1 Chronicles 27:10 .

(Heb. Palti', פִּלְטַי , same as Palti [q.v.]; Sept. Φαλτί ), the Gentile name of Helez, one of David's captains ( 2 Samuel 23:26); the same name, probably, as PELONITE (See Pelonite) (q.v.) in the parallel passage ( Chronicles 11:27), and such seems to have been the reading followed by the Alex. MS. in 2 Samuel. The Peshito-Syriac, however, supports the Hebrew, "Cholots of Pelat." But in 1 Chronicles 27:10, "Helez the Pelonite," of the tribe of Ephraim is again mentioned as captain of 24,000 men of David's army for the seventh month, and the balance of evidence therefore inclines to "Pelonite" as the true reading. The variation arose from a confusion between the letters ונ and ט . In the Syriac of 1 Chronicles both readings are combined, and Helez is described as "of Palton."
