<p> '''Aij'alon.''' ''(place of gazelles).'' </p> <p> 1. [[A]] city of the Kohathites. Joshua 21:24; 1 Chronicles 6:69. It was a [[Levitical]] city and a city of refuge. It was originally allotted to the tribe of Dan, Joshua 19:42, Authorized Version, [[Ajalon]] , which tribe, however, was unable to dispossess the [[Amorites]] of the place. Judges 1:35. </p> <p> [[Aijalon]] was one of the towns fortified by Reheboam, 2 Chronicles 11:10, and the last we hear of it is being in the hands of the Philistines. 2 Chronicles 28:18. Being on the very frontier of the two kingdoms, we can understand how Aijalon should be spoken of sometimes, 1 Chronicles 6:69, compare with 1 Chronicles 6:66, as in [[Ephraim]] and sometimes, 2 Chronicles 11:10; 1 Samuel 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. </p> <p> 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. Joshua 10:12. </p> <p> 3. [[A]] place in Zebulon, mentioned as the burial-place of Elon, one of the Judges. Judges 12:12. </p> | |||

It may be the modern <em> Yâlo </em> , 3 miles [[N.E.]] of <em> Latrûn </em> , 14 miles from Jerusalem. <strong> 2 </strong> . An unknown town in [[Zebulun]] ( Judges 12:12 ). </p> <p> [[W.]] Ewing. </p> | |||

<p> | <p> a city of the Canaanites; the valley adjoining to which is memorable in sacred history from the miracle of Joshua, in arresting the course of the sun and moon, that the [[Israelites]] might have sufficient light to pursue their enemies, Joshua 10:12-13 . Aijalon was afterward a Levitical city, and belonged to the tribe of Dan; who did not, however, drive out the [[Amorite]] inhabitants, Judges 1:35 . </p> | ||

<p> '''''ā´ja''''' -'''''lon''''' ( | <p> '''''ā´ja''''' -'''''lon''''' ( איּלון , <i> ''''''ayyālōn''''' </i> , "deerplace"; the King James Version, [[Ajalon]] ( Joshua 10:12 )): </p> <p> (1) The name of a town allotted to the tribe of Dan ( Joshua 19:42 ), which was also designated a Levitical city ( Joshua 21:24 ), which fell to the Sons of [[Kohath]] ( 1 Chronicles 6:69 ). The first mention of Aijalon is in the narrative of Joshua's defeat of the five Amorite kings: "thou, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon" ( Joshua 10:12 ). The [[Danites]] failed to take it from the Amorites ( Judges 1:35 ), although the men of Ephraim held it in vassalage. Here Saul and [[Jonathan]] won a great victory over the Philistines ( 1 Samuel 14:31 ). At one time it was held by the tribe of [[Benjamin]] ( 1 Chronicles 8:13 ). Rehoboam fortified it against the kingdom of [[Israel]] ( 2 Chronicles 11:10 ). In the days of King Ahaz it was captured by the Philistines ( 2 Chronicles 28:18 ). It has been identified with the modern Yalo; its antiquity goes back to <i> Tell el-Amarna [[Letters]] </i> , in which it has mention. It Is situated Northwest of [[Jerusalem]] in a valley of the same name, which leads down from the mountains to the sea. </p> <p> (2) [[A]] town in the tribe of Zebulun, site unknown, where Elon the judge was buried ( Judges 12:12 ). </p> | ||
