Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Shaalabbin - The 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.

And Shaalabbin,.... The first of these is the same with Shaalbim, Judges 1:35; and which Jerom (r) calls Selab, in the tribe of Daniel; 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 Joshua 10:12,
and Jethlah, of which we read nowhere else.
(r) De loc. Hebrews. fol. 94. K.
