Ahijah

Ahijah the Pelonite was one of David's thirty mighty men, listed in the extended catalogue of heroes in 1 Chronicles 11:36. The designation 'Pelonite' may indicate a geographic origin, possibly related to Palon or a similar place name in Israel, though the location is uncertain. The thirty mighty men formed the core of David's military elite, and their names were preserved as an honored roll of the warriors who established the Davidic kingdom. Ahijah the Pelonite is distinguished from the more prominent prophet Ahijah of Shiloh who announced the division of Solomon's kingdom.
