Shalishah, a district or region through which Saul traveled seeking his father's donkeys
Shalishah designates a district or region through which Saul passed while searching for his father's lost donkeys—the journey that led to his anointing as king. The text calls it 'the land of Shalishah,' indicating a recognized territorial area, though its exact location remains debated. Some scholars connect it with Baal-shalishah, mentioned in 2 Kings 4:42, suggesting a location in Ephraim's hill country. The name possibly relates to the Hebrew word for 'three,' perhaps indicating a triple region or threefold division, though this remains speculative. The term functions as a place name marking one stage of Saul's fateful journey.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Geographical designation for a district or region in central Israel through which Saul traveled. First Samuel 9:4 recounts the search: 'He passed through the hill country of Ephraim and through the land of Shalishah, but they did not find them.' This unsuccessful search through multiple regions eventually brought Saul to Samuel, leading to his secret anointing as king. The multilingual evidence (Spanish 'Shalishá,' English and German 'Shalishah') treats this as a proper place name, though its exact location remains uncertain. The journey's stages—Ephraim, Shalishah, Shaalim—map Saul's providential path to kingship. 1×
