SHAALBON, or Salabon, the Name of a Place in Judea. We read of Eliabba of Shaalbon, one of the Heroes of David’s Army, 2 Sam. xxiii. 32. and 1 Chron. xi. 32. Shaalbon is doubtless the same as Sel-
Dan. bon beyond Jordan. This must be a considi. 7. erable Place, since Josephus takes Notice of it, as giving Name to the Canton Selbenite, which limits Perea towards the East, with Philadelphia and Gerar.
