Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Shaalbim in the Septuagint or New Testament, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. Usage: Shaalbim is a town mentioned in the Old Testament, associated with the tribe of Dan. The name may suggest a place characterized by the presence of foxes or jackals, which were common in the region. Cultural and Historical Background: Shaalbim was located in the Shephelah, the lowland region of ancient Israel, which was a transitional area between the coastal plains and the central highlands. This area was often contested due to its strategic location and fertile land. The town is mentioned in the context of the struggles between the Israelites and the Canaanites, as well as the Philistines, who were prominent adversaries during the period of the Judges and early monarchy.
