Several

Juat as 'sever' in AV meana to % appointed to be kept in several places'; wood. Hist. 107, ' Their [elders] office is separate, so ' several ' means separate, distinct, at 2 K 15' ' He was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house'; Mt 25" 'to every man according to his several ability.' So aevcr- ally, 1 Co 12" ' dividing to every man severally aa he will.' Cf. Dt 7« Tind.

'Tlie Lorde thy God hath chosen the to be a severall people unto him silf; Tymme, Calvin's Genesis, 8S2 (Gn 49^), ' Every one of them blessed he, with a severall blessing ' ; Kidley, Works, 390, ' Our own servanta were taken from ua before and ... we each one Calder- is as well severally, as conjunctly, to watch diligently over the flock committed to their charge.'

— A town of Dan mentioned be- tween Irshemesh (Beth-shemesh) and Aijalon (Jos 19"). It is apparently the same place as Shaaldim. C. W. Wilson. SHAALBIM (D-3^iji ; in Joshua LXX B.4 have QaXa^dv, in 1 Kings B has Bij5a\o/ifi, A ^aXa/Stl/x ; Vulg. Salabim, Salebim). — A town mentioned with Mt. Heres and Aijalon as being occupied by the Amoritea who had driven the Danites into the hills (Jg 1").

It was, with Makaz and Beth- shemesh, in the district of one of Solomon's commissariat officers (I K 4'); and if it be the same place as Shaalabbin, it is mentioned with Aijalon and Betli-shemesh in Jos ig". It is prob- ably identical with Shaalbon, the home of one of David's heroes. Eusebius and Jerome (Onom. s. ZaXafitU, Salabim) identify it with Salaba, a large village in the territory of Sebaste ; but this is too far north of Aijalon. Elsewhere (Com. ad Ezek.

48) Jerome mentions 'the towers of Aijalon, and Selebi, and Eiumaus ' in connexion with Joppa and the territory of Dan. From this Conder (I'EF Mem. iii. 52) identifies Shaalbim with Selbit, about 8 miles N. of Beth-shemesh, 3 miles N.W. of Aijalon, and 2 miles N. of Eiumaus. Possibly (see Driver, Text, of Ham. 54) Shaalbim should be read for Shaalim in 1 S 9*. C. W. Wilson. SHAALBONITE, THE CjskTn; in 2 S 4 2aXa- pupelTris ; in 1 Ch B 6 'Ofid, A 0 ZaKa^uii/t ; de Salboni).

— Eliahba, the Shaalbonite, one of David's heroea (2 S 23^''', 1 Ch IT"), was a native of Shaal- bon, — a place not mentioned elsewhere. See Shaalbim. C. W. Wilson.
