AI summary: Aijalon can refer to more than one place in Scripture, and this entry belongs to the northern one in Zebulun. Its small number of references means it does not carry the better-known military associations of the Aijalon valley in Judah and Dan. Instead, it contributes to the detailed geography of Israel's settled tribal world. The cross references present this Aijalon as a northern settlement that needs to be distinguished from the more famous place of the same name.1
