gī´zon-īt:

A name given to Hashem, an inhabitant of Gizoh, a place somewhere in the mountains of Judah (1 Chronicles 11:34; 2 Samuel 23:32, 2 Samuel 23:34).

This gentilic name in 1 Chronicles 11:34, “Hashem the Gizonite,” is probably an error for “Gunite” (compare Numbers 26:48), and the passage should be corrected, after 2 Samuel 23:32, into “Jashen the Gunite.”
