However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates the name as Αἰλών (Ailōn), maintaining its identity as a place name. Usage: Ajalon is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a location. It is mentioned in various contexts, often as a geographical landmark or a site of historical events. Context: Ajalon is a significant location in biblical history, appearing in several key narratives. It is a valley and a city in the territory of the tribe of Dan, later associated with the tribe of Benjamin. Ajalon is notably mentioned in the context of Joshua's conquest of Canaan, where Joshua commanded the sun and moon to stand still: "And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, until the nation took vengeance upon its enemies" (Joshua 10:12-13, BSB). This miraculous event occurred in the Valley of Ajalon. The city of Ajalon was also a Levitical city, designated for the descendants of Kohath (1 Chronicles 6:69, BSB). Additionally, Ajalon was a site of conflict during the period of the Judges and the monarchy, reflecting its strategic importance. The Philistines occupied Ajalon during the time of King Saul, and it was later fortified by King Rehoboam of Judah (2 Chronicles 11:10, BSB).
