Shaalbon

Shaalbon ("foxes") was the hometown of Eliahba the Shaalbonite, named in the catalog of David's Thirty mighty men (2 Samuel 23:32, 1 Chronicles 11:33). The town's full name was likely Shaalbim — the same Amorite-held lowland that the house of Joseph eventually subdued (Judges 1:35), giving Eliahba roots in the early conquest tradition. The site is identified with modern Selbit in the Aijalon Valley about three miles northwest of Beth-shemesh, on the western edge of the territory allotted to Dan.
