Chesalon

Chesalon is named once in scripture, as a landmark on the northern boundary of the tribe of Judah.

A Landmark on Judah's Northern Border

In the survey of Judah's territory, the description traces the line between Judah and its northern neighbor and pauses to identify Chesalon with the slope of a known mountain: "and the border turned about from Baalah westward to mount Seir, and passed along to the side of mount Jearim on the north (the same is Chesalon), and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed along by Timnah" (Joshua 15:10). Chesalon is therefore the alternate name for the northern flank of mount Jearim, sitting between Baalah/Mount Seir to the east and Beth-shemesh and Timnah further down the line.
