SHALISHAH . A region through which Saul travelled with his servant in search of the lost asses ( 1 Samuel 9:4 ). The route as given probably describes a circuitous journey, to the N.W., the E., and finally S. through Benjamin. This would place the ‘land of Shalishah’ somewhere on the hills W. of Shiloh. Baal-shalishah ( 2 Kings 4:42 ) was doubtless a place in the same district.
