Contextual Overview

40Dan was the seventh tribe chosen to receive land, and the region for its clans included the following towns: Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir-Shemesh, Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah, Elon, Timnah, Ekron, Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath, Jehud, Azor, Beneberak, Gath-Rimmon, Mejarkon, and Rakkon. Dan's tribal land went almost as far as Joppa. 47Its clans received this land and these towns with their surrounding villages. Later, when enemies forced them to leave their tribal land, they went to the town of Leshem. They attacked the town, captured it, and killed the people who lived there. Then they settled there themselves and renamed the town Dan after their ancestor.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Shaalabbin: Eusebius calls it בכבגב, and places it in Samaria, and Jerome calls it Salebi - Ezek. 48 and joins it to Ajalon and Emmaus. Judges 1:35, Shaalbim

Ajalon: This appears to be the Ajalon which Jerome places two miles from Nicopolis or Emmaus, in the road to Jerusalem. Joshua 10:12, Joshua 21:24, 1 Samuel 14:31

Reciprocal: Judges 12:12 - Aijalon 1 Kings 4:9 - Shaalbim 1 Chronicles 8:13 - Aijalon 2 Chronicles 11:10 - Zorah

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Shaalabbin,.... The first of these is the same with Shaalbim, Judges 1:35; and which Jerom r calls Selab, in the tribe of Dan; and which he says was in his day shown a large village on the borders of Sebaste, by the name of Selaba.

and Ajalon is famous for the standing still of the moon in its valley while Joshua pursued his enemies, Judges 1:35- :;

and Jethlah, of which we read nowhere else.

r De loc. Heb. fol. 94. K.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 42. ShaalabbinThe foxes. Of this city the Amorites kept constant possession. See Judges 1:35.

Ajalon — There was a place of this name about two miles from Nicopolis or Emmaus, on the road to Jerusalem.-Calmet.
