Aijalon or Ajalon (place of gazelles). 1. A city of the Kohathites. Jos 21:24; 1Ch 6:69 It was a Levitical city and a city of refuge. It was originally allotted to the tribe of Dan, Jos 19:42 Authorized Version, AJALON, which tribe, however, was unable to dispossess the Amorites of the place. Jud 1:35 Aijalon was one of the towns fortified by Reheboam, 2Ch 11:10 and the last we hear of it is being in the hands of the Philistines. 2Ch 28:18 Being on the very frontier of the two kingdoms, we can understand how Aijalon should be spoken of sometimes, 1Ch 6:69 comp. with 1Chr 6:66 as in Ephraim and sometimes, 2Ch 11:10; 1Sa 14:31 as in Judah and Benjamin. It is represented by the modern Yalo, a little to the north of the Jaffa road, about 14 miles out of Jerusalem. 2. A broad and beautiful valley near the city of Aijalon over which Joshua commanded the moon to stand still during the pursuit after the battle of Gibeon. Jos 10:12 3. A place in Zebulon, mentioned as the burial-place of Elon, one of the Judges. Jud 12:12 |
