Kesalon (also called Ksalon, Chesalon, Chaslon, Chasalon; Hebrew: ÃÂðáøÃÂÃÂÃÂùÃÂ) is a biblical site in the Judean Mountains, mentioned in the Book of Joshua (15:10) as part of the northern border of the territory allotted to the tribe of Judah:
Kesalon is identified as a biblical settlement based on mentions by EusebiusâÂÂs Onomasticon (early 4th century CE) and the preservation of the name in the Palestinian village of Kasla (ÃÂóÃÂç). Archaeological surveys by Aharoni, Dothan, and Yeivin uncovered remains from Iron Age (<abbr>c.</abbr>âÂÂ1200 â c.âÂÂ550 BC), supporting this identification.
