SHAALBIM

(Heb. šaʿalbîm)
(also SHAALABBIN)

A city allotted to the tribe of Dan (Josh. 19:42; “Shaalabbin”). Though the Danites were unable to capture the city, its Amorite inhabitants subsequently were subjected to forced labor by “the house of Joseph” (Ephraim; Judg. 1:35). Later it was included in Solomon’s second administrative district (1 Kgs. 4:9). Shaalbim is likely to be equated with Shaalbon, hometown of Eliahba, one of David’s Thirty (2 Sam. 23:32; 1 Chr. 11:33). As has Shual, it has also been associated by some with the “land of Shaalim” through which Saul passed in search of his donkeys (1 Sam. 9:4). Archaeologists identify Shaalbim with modern Selbît/Tel Shaʿalevim (148141), 5 km. (3 mi.) NW of Aijalon.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
