Its name means "place of foxes" or "place of jackals," which may indicate the presence of these animals in the area. The town's location is not precisely known today, but it is believed to have been situated in the Shephelah, the lowland region of ancient Israel. This area was known for its fertile land and strategic importance, often serving as a battleground between the Israelites and the Philistines. The mention of Shaalabbin highlights the challenges faced by the tribe of Dan in securing their inheritance, as they struggled against the Philistine presence in the region.<p><b>Aijalon</b><br>Aijalon is another town within the territory allotted to the tribe of Dan. It holds significant historical and biblical importance. Aijalon is famously mentioned in the account of Joshua's battle against the Amorites, where Joshua commanded the sun to stand still over Gibeon and the moon over the Valley of Aijalon (<a href="/joshua/10-12.htm">Joshua 10:12</a>). This miraculous event demonstrated God's power and support for Israel in their conquest of Canaan. Aijalon was strategically located on a major route connecting the coastal plain with the hill country, making it a key military and trade location. The town's history reflects the ongoing struggle between the Israelites and their neighbors, as it later became a site of conflict with the Philistines.<p><b>Ithlah</b><br>Ithlah is a lesser-known town mentioned in the list of cities within the territory of Dan. Its exact location remains uncertain, and it is not frequently referenced in other biblical texts. The inclusion of Ithlah in the list of Danite cities underscores the comprehensive nature of the tribal allotments, ensuring that even smaller settlements were recognized as part of the inheritance. The mention of such towns highlights the detailed record-keeping and the importance of land distribution in maintaining the identity and cohesion of the Israelite tribes. The allocation of land to each tribe was a fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham and his descendants, emphasizing the covenant relationship between God and Israel.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/shaalabbin.htm">Shaalabbin</a></b><br>A town allocated to the tribe of Dan.
