Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the term "Shilonite" as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a person from Shiloh. However, the concept of individuals being identified by their place of origin is present in both Hebrew and Greek texts, often using similar linguistic structures.

Usage: The term "Shilonite" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to individuals associated with the town of Shiloh. It is used as a proper noun to denote a person's origin or affiliation with Shiloh.

Context: The term "Shilonite" appears in the context of identifying individuals who are from or associated with the ancient town of Shiloh, a significant religious and cultural center in the tribal territory of Ephraim. Shiloh was the location of the Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant before the establishment of Jerusalem as the central place of worship. The most notable Shilonite mentioned in the Bible is Ahijah the Shilonite, a prophet during the reign of King Solomon and Jeroboam. Ahijah played a crucial role in the division of the united monarchy of Israel by prophesying the division of the kingdom and the rise of Jeroboam as king over the northern tribes. The term "Shilonite" thus carries connotations of religious significance and prophetic authority, as seen in the narrative of Ahijah.

In 1 Kings 11:29, the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) states: "At that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the road, wearing a new cloak, and the two of them were alone in the open field." This passage highlights the role of Ahijah the Shilonite in the divine orchestration of Israel's history.
