From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Ajalon       and Aij'alon, place of deer. (1.) A town and valley originally       assigned to the tribe of Dan, from which, however, they could       not drive the Amorites (Judg. 1:35). It was one of the Levitical       cities given to the Kohathites (1 Chr. 6:69). It was not far       from Beth-shemesh (2 Chr. 28:18). It was the boundary between       the kingdoms of Judah and Israel, and is frequently mentioned in       Jewish history (2 Chr. 11:10; 1 Sam. 14:31; 1 Chr. 8:13). With       reference to the valley named after the town, Joshua uttered the       celebrated command, "Sun, stand thou still on Gibeon; and thou,       Moon, in the valley of Ajalon" (Josh. 10:12). It has been       identified as the modern Yalo, at the foot of the Beth-horon       pass (q.v.). In the Tell Amarna letters Adoni-zedek (q.v.)       speaks of the destruction of the "city of Ajalon" by the       invaders, and describes himself as "afflicted, greatly       afflicted" by the calamities that had come on the land, urging       the king of Egypt to hasten to his help.                (2.) A city in the tribe of Zebulun (Judg. 12:12), the modern       Jalun, three miles north of Cabul.
