- Joshua 10:12
On the day that the LORD gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke to the LORD in the presence of Israel: “O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”
Commentary on Joshua 10:121 voice
Everywhere, therefore, he alone kept close to holy Moses amid all these wondrous works and dread secrets. In this way it happened that the one who had been Moses' companion in this intercourse with God succeeded to his power. Worthy surely was he to stand forth as a man who might stay the course of the river, and who might say, "Sun, stand still," and delay the night and lengthen the day, as though to witness his victory. Why?—a blessing denied to Moses—he alone was chosen to lead the people into the promised land.

Commentary on Joshua 19:422 voices
And Shaalabbin,.... The first of these is the same with Shaalbim, Jdg 1:35; and which Jerom (r) calls Selab, in the tribe of Dan; and which he says was in his day shown a large village on the borders of Sebaste, by the name of Selaba. and Ajalon is famous for the standing still of the moon in its valley while Joshua pursued his enemies; see Gill on Jos 10:12, and Jethlah, of which we read nowhere else. (r) De loc. Heb. fol. 94. K.

- Judges 1:35
And the Amorites were determined to dwell in Mount Heres, Aijalon, and Shaalbim. But when the house of Joseph grew in strength, they pressed the Amorites into forced labor.
Commentary on Judges 1:352 voices
But the Amorites would dwell in Mount Heres in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The Amorites would dwell in Mount Heres - They perhaps agreed to dwell in the mountainous country, being unable to maintain themselves on the plain, and yet were so powerful that the Danites could not totally expel them; they were, however, laid under tribute, and thus the house of Joseph had the sovereignty.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Judges 12:12
Then Elon the Zebulunite died, and he was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
Commentary on Judges 12:121 voice
And Elon the Zebulonite died,.... At the end of his ten years of government: and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun; which is added to distinguish it from another Aijalon in the tribe of Dan Jdg 1:35.

- 1 Samuel 14:31
That day, after the Israelites had struck down the Philistines from Michmash to Aijalon, the people were very faint.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 14:311 voice
The day of the mind is the splendor of instruction. But those whom the arrogant teach, because they are inflamed by the ambition of temporal glory, receive a semblance of light, not the truth. When therefore that day is spoken of, what else is signified, except that often by the aim of temporal glory, mighty deeds seemed to be accomplished? For in that day, that is, by the teaching or example of the proud, they strike, because they serve in the ministry of preaching for this purpose: to obtain the splendor of temporal glory.

- 1 Chronicles 6:69
Aijalon, and Gath-rimmon, together with their pasturelands.
- 2 Chronicles 11:10
Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, the fortified cities in Judah and Benjamin.
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 11:101 voice
And Zorah,.... The same with Zoreah, Jos 15:33, and Aijalon; there was a city of the tribe of Dan of this name, in the valley of which the moon stood still in the times of Joshua, Jos 10:12, but whether the same with this, and now belonging to Judah, or another of the same name, is not certain: and Hebron; a city in the mountainous part of Judah, and a city of refuge, about twenty miles from Jerusalem, Jos 15:54, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities; as they were now made by Rehoboam.
