Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁעַל (sha'al), meaning "to ask" or "to inquire."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Shaalim, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a location not mentioned in the Greek New Testament. Usage: The term "Shaalim" is used in the context of a geographical location in the narrative of 1 Samuel. Context: Shaalim is mentioned in the context of the search for the lost donkeys of Kish, the father of Saul, who would later become the first king of Israel. In 1 Samuel 9:4, it is recorded: "So Saul passed through the hill country of Ephraim and through the land of Shalishah, but they did not find the donkeys. They went on into the region of Shaalim, but the donkeys were not there either. Then he went through the land of Benjamin, but they did not find them." The region of Shaalim is thus depicted as part of the journey undertaken by Saul and his servant in their quest. The exact location of Shaalim is not definitively known, but it is understood to be in the vicinity of the territories of Ephraim and Benjamin, suggesting it was part of the central hill country of ancient Israel.
