<p> <strong> AIJALON </strong> . <strong> 1 </strong> . A city allotted to, but not occupied by, [[Dan]] ( <span> [[Joshua]] 19:42 </span> , <span> [[Judges]] 1:35 </span> ).

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]] ( <span> Judges 12:12 </span> ). </p> <p> W.

<p> <span> Aij'alon. </span> <span> (place of gazelles). </span> </p> <p> 1. A city of the Kohathites. <span> [[Joshua]] 21:24 </span> ; <span> 1 [[Chronicles]] 6:69 </span> . It was a [[Levitical]] city and a city of refuge. It was originally allotted to the tribe of Dan, <span> Joshua 19:42 </span> , [[Authorized]] Version, <span> [[Ajalon]] </span> , which tribe, however, was unable to dispossess the [[Amorites]] of the place. <span> [[Judges]] 1:35 </span> . </p> <p> [[Aijalon]] was one of the towns fortified by Reheboam, <span> 2 Chronicles 11:10 </span> , and the last we hear of it is being in the hands of the Philistines. <span> 2 Chronicles 28:18 </span> . Being on the very frontier of the two kingdoms, we can understand how Aijalon should be spoken of sometimes, <span> 1 Chronicles 6:69 </span> , compare with <span> 1 Chronicles 6:66 </span> , as in [[Ephraim]] and sometimes, <span> 2 Chronicles 11:10 </span> ; <span> 1 [[Samuel]] 14:31 </span> , as in [[Judah]] and Benjamin. It is represented by the modern <span> Yalo </span> , 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. <span> Joshua 10:12 </span> . </p> <p> 3. A place in Zebulon, mentioned as the burial-place of Elon, one of the Judges. <span> Judges 12:12 </span> . </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, <span> [[Joshua]] 10:12-13 </span> . [[Aijalon]] was afterward a [[Levitical]] city, and belonged to the tribe of Dan; who did not, however, drive out the [[Amorite]] inhabitants, <span> [[Judges]] 1:35 </span> . </p> | |||

<p> <translit> ā´ja </translit> - <translit> lon </translit> ( <span> איּלון </span> , <i> <translit> 'ayyālōn </translit> </i> , "deerplace"; the [[King]] [[James]] Version, <span> [[Ajalon]] </span> ( <span> [[Joshua]] 10:12 </span> )): </p> <p> (1) The name of a town allotted to the tribe of [[Dan]] ( <span> Joshua 19:42 </span> ), which was also designated a [[Levitical]] city ( <span> Joshua 21:24 </span> ), which fell to the Sons of [[Kohath]] ( <span> 1 [[Chronicles]] 6:69 </span> ). 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" ( <span> Joshua 10:12 </span> ). The [[Danites]] failed to take it from the [[Amorites]] ( <span> [[Judges]] 1:35 </span> ), although the men of [[Ephraim]] held it in vassalage. [[Here]] [[Saul]] and [[Jonathan]] won a great victory over the [[Philistines]] ( <span> 1 [[Samuel]] 14:31 </span> ). At one time it was held by the tribe of [[Benjamin]] ( <span> 1 Chronicles 8:13 </span> ). [[Rehoboam]] fortified it against the kingdom of [[Israel]] ( <span> 2 Chronicles 11:10 </span> ). [[In]] the days of King [[Ahaz]] it was captured by the Philistines ( <span> 2 Chronicles 28:18 </span> ). 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 ( <span> Judges 12:12 </span> ). </p> | |||
