Usage: This proper noun refers to a location in the territory of the tribe of Dan, mentioned in the context of the conquest and settlement of the Promised Land. Context: Shaalbim, also known as Shaalabbin, is a town located in the allotment of the tribe of Dan, as mentioned in the Book of Joshua. It is referenced in Joshua 19:42, where it is listed among the towns given to the tribe of Dan: "Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah." The town is also mentioned in Judges 1:35, where it is noted that the Amorites forced the Danites into the hill country and did not allow them to come down to the plain, indicating the challenges faced by the Israelites in fully occupying their allotted territories. Additionally, Shaalbim is mentioned in 1 Kings 4:9 as part of the district governed by one of Solomon's officials, Ben-Deker, during the period of the united monarchy. The name "place of foxes" or "place of jackals" suggests a region that may have been known for its wildlife or perhaps its desolation. The exact location of Shaalbim is not definitively known today, but it is believed to have been situated in the central part of ancient Israel, within the boundaries of the tribe of Dan.
