“And Shaalabbin, etc.] The first of these is the same with Shaalbim, (<070135>Judges 1:35); and which Jerom f489 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, (see Gill on “<061012>Joshua 10:12”); and Jethlah, of which we read nowhere else.”

“Shaalabbin: Eusebius calls it Σαλαβα, and places it in Samaria, and Jerome calls it Salebi (Ezek. 48), and joins it to Ajalon and Emmaus. Jdg 1:35, Shaalbim Ajalon: This appears to be the Ajalon which Jerome places two miles from Nicopolis or Emmaus, in the road to Jerusalem. Jos 10:12, Jos 21:24; Sa1 14:31 Joshua 19:43”
