A region through which Saul travelled with his servant in search of the lost asses (1Sa 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 (2Ki 4:42) was doubtless a place in the same district.
H. L. Willett.
He passed through the hill country of Ephraim and passed through the land of Shalishah, but they did not find them Then they passed through the land of Shaalim, but they were not there. Then he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they did not find them.
Now a man came from Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And he said, "Give them to the people that they may eat."
