Paltite [EBD]
the designation of one of David's heroes (2 Sam. 23:26); called also the Pelonite (1 Chr. 11:27).
PALTITE [ISBE]
PALTITE - pal'-tit (palTi (as Palti); The Septuagint has: Codex Vaticanus Kelothei; Codex Alexandrinus Phellonei): The description occurs but once in this form and is then applied to Helez, one of David's 30 valiant men (2 Sam 23:26). Helez' name, however, occurs in 1 Ch 11:27 and 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 Josh 15:27 and Neh 11:26 as being in Lower Judah. Helez, however, is described as "of the children of Ephraim" in 1 Ch 27:10.
