Gi'loh. (exile). A town in the mountainous part of Judah, named in the first group with Debir and Eshtemoh, Jos_16:51, it was the native place of the famous Ahithophel. 2Sa_15:12.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


gı̄?lō (גּלה, gilōh): A town in the hill country of Judah mentioned along with Jattir, Socoh, Debir, Eshtemoa, etc. (Jos_15:51). Ahithophel came from here (2Sa_15:12) and is called the Gilonite (2Sa_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).

Giloh
(Heb. Giloh', גַּלֹה, exile [Gesenius] or circle [Furst]; Sept. in Joshua Γιλώ v. r. Γηλώμ and Γηλών, in Sam. Γελώ v.r. Γωλά), the last named (after Goshen and Holon) in the first group of eleven cities in the south-western part (Keil, Joshua page 384) of the hill-country of the tribe of Judah (Jos_15:51); and afterwards the native place or residence of Ahithophel (hence called "the Gilonite" [q.v.], 2Sa_15:12; 2Sa_23:34), whence Absalom, on his way from Jerusalem to Hebron, summoned him (perhaps from a temporary banishment or disgrace at court) to join his rebellious standard (2Sa_15:12), and whither he returned to commit suicide on the failure of his colleagues to adopt his crafty counsel (2Sa_17:23). Josephus calls it Gelmon (Γελμών, Ant. 7:9, 8). De Saulcy (Dead Sea, 1:453) and Schwarz (Palest. page 105) both make it to be the modern Beit-Jala, near Bethlehem; but this is rather the ancient Zelah or Zelzah (q.v.), and the scriptural notices require a different position, perhaps at Rafat, a village with extensive ruins one hour twenty minutes south of Hebron (Van de Velde, Memoir, page 252).
