A Danite town in the Aijalon Valley corridor
ShephelahIthlah ("she will hang") was one of the cities of Dan's tribal inheritance in the Aijalon coastal corridor, named in Joshua 19:42: "And Shaalabbin, and Aijalon, and Jethlah." The KJV "Jethlah" is the same site as the Hebrew Ithlah. The town appears only in this single boundary list and is uncertain in location. It lay in the inner Shephelah-coastal corridor between Aijalon and the Mediterranean, in the cluster of small Danite settlements that the tribe later abandoned when Amorite pressure forced their migration north to Laish-Dan.
