However, the concept of seeking or inquiring can be related to Greek words like ζητέω (zēteō - Strong's Greek 2212), meaning "to seek" or "to search."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "Shealim" refers to a region or district mentioned in the Old Testament. It is primarily known as the area where Saul, the first king of Israel, searched for his father's lost donkeys. The name itself suggests a place associated with inquiry or seeking, which aligns with the narrative of Saul's search.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of ancient Israel, regions and territories were often named based on geographical features, historical events, or significant activities associated with them. The mention of Shealim in the Bible provides insight into the tribal and territorial divisions during the time of the judges and early monarchy. The search for lost donkeys, as seen in the narrative, reflects the agrarian lifestyle and the importance of livestock in the economy and daily life of ancient Israelites.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/7776.htm">shual</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an area searched by Saul<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Shaalim (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">שְׁעָלִים</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>district in Israel</b></font>; — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">אֶרֶץ שׁ</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/9-4.htm">1 Samuel 9:4</a>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Εασακεμ</font>, A <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Σααλειμ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Σεγαλειμ</font>; near Michmash Schick<sup>ZPV iv. 248</sup>; not identified; = <font class="hebrew2">שַׁעַלְבִים</font> We Dr Now; compare II. <font class="hebrew2">שׁוּעָל</font> Th HPS Bu. <p><font class="hebrew2">שׁעם</font> √assumed by Thes for <font class="hebrew2">מִשְׁעָם</font> proper name q. v. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Shalim <p>Plural of <a href="/hebrew/7776.htm">shuw'al</a>; foxes; Shaalim, a place in Palestine -- Shalim. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/7776.htm">shuw'al</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>שַׁעֲלִים֙ שעלים ša‘ălîm ša·‘ă·lîm shaaLim<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/1_samuel/9-4.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">1 Samuel 9:4</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/9.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וַיַּעַבְר֤וּ בְאֶֽרֶץ־ <b> שַׁעֲלִים֙ </b> וָאַ֔יִן וַיַּעֲבֹ֥ר</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/1_samuel/9.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> through the land <span class="itali">of Shaalim,</span> but [they were] not [there].
