Gizonites

The Gizonites are mentioned in 1 Chronicles 11:34 as the family of origin of Hashem, one of David's mighty warriors. The designation 'Gizonite' appears only here and the location of Gizon is unknown, possibly a scribal variant for 'the Gunite' or another clan name. The reference illustrates the geographic and ethnic diversity of the warriors who gathered around David from across Israel and its neighboring regions.
