The Shilonite — a gentilic adjective identifying someone from Shiloh, applied especially to the prophet Ahijah.
A gentilic adjective meaning 'the one from Shiloh,' used almost exclusively to identify the prophet Ahijah who prophesied the division of Solomon's kingdom. The definite article is consistently attached — 'the Shilonite' — marking it as a recognized epithet. Five of the six occurrences refer to Ahijah (1 Kgs 11:29; 12:15; 15:29; 2 Chr 9:29; 10:15), while 1 Chronicles 9:5 uses the term collectively for inhabitants of Shiloh who settled in Jerusalem after the exile. The spelling varies slightly between Kings and Chronicles, reflecting normal orthographic fluidity in Hebrew proper adjectives.
