Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the name Kiljon, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. However, the narrative involving Kiljon is part of the broader biblical story that is referenced in various Greek texts.

Usage: The name Kiljon appears in the context of the Book of Ruth in the Old Testament. It is used as a personal name for one of the sons of Elimelech and Naomi.

Context: Kiljon is a biblical figure mentioned in the Book of Ruth. He is one of the two sons of Elimelech and Naomi, the other being Mahlon. The family, originally from Bethlehem in Judah, relocates to Moab due to a famine in their homeland. Kiljon, along with his brother, marries a Moabite woman; Kiljon's wife is named Orpah. After residing in Moab for about ten years, Kiljon dies, leaving Orpah a widow. His death, along with that of his brother and father, sets the stage for Naomi's return to Bethlehem with her daughter-in-law Ruth, who becomes a central figure in the biblical narrative. The name Kiljon is often associated with themes of mortality and the transient nature of life, as his name is linked to the idea of completion or coming to an end.
