gı̄´lō ( גּלה , gilōh ): A town in the hill country of Judah mentioned along with Jattir, Socoh, Debir, Eshtemoa, etc. ( Joshua 15:51 ). Ahithophel came from here (2 Samuel 15:12 ) and is called the Gilonite (2 Samuel 23:34 ). Driver infers from this last that the original form was Gilon, not Giloh. Probably the ruins Kḣ Jālā , in the hills 3 miles Northwest of Hulhūl , mark the site (PEF , III, 313, Sh XXI ).
