- Shaalabbin:
- Eusebius calls it Σαλαβα, and places it in Samaria, and Jerome calls it Salebi ("Now these¹ [are] the namesª of the tribes.ª From the northª endª¹ to¹ the coastª of the wayª of Hethlon,ª as one goethª° to Hamath,ª Hazarenan,ª the borderª of Damascusª northward,ª to¹ the coastª of Hamath;ª for these are¹ his sidesª eastª [and] west;ª aª [portion for] Dan.ª ... [It was] round aboutª eighteenªª thousandª [measures]: and the nameª of the cityª from [that] dayª¹ [shall be], The LORD¹ [is] there.²¹" {Ezk 48:1-35}), and joins it to Ajalon and Emmaus. "But the Amoritesª wouldª° dwellª° in mountª Heresª in Aijalon,ª and in Shaalbim:ª yet the handª of the houseª of Josephª prevailed,ª° so that they became¹ tributaries.ª" {Jdg 1:35}, Shaalbim
