Old Testament

Zalmon, also known as Ilai, was one of King David's mighty men, hailing from Ahlai.

Zalmon, also known as Ilai in the parallel list of 1 Chronicles 11:29, was one of David's mighty men listed in the catalogue of 2 Samuel 23:28. The designation 'Ahohite' connects him to the Ahoah clan of the tribe of Benjamin (1 Chronicles 8:4). He is one of the second tier of elite warriors — the group of thirty — whose collective military prowess supported David's campaigns and the consolidation of the monarchy.
