דברי הימים א, פרק ו׳, פסוק מ״ג

The historical records of ancient cities often carry unique traditions regarding how their identities were preserved over generations. In the case of the city of Hilez, a divergence in the written records emerged over time. Some later printed editions record the city's name as Hilen [מנחת שי, ביאור שטיינזלץ]. However, the most accurate ancient manuscripts and early printings strictly preserve the name as Hilez. This older tradition is highly unusual; the specific spelling of the city's name is entirely unique, appearing nowhere else in the biblical text [מנחת שי].
