Exegesis
The verse employs paratactic coordination through the vav-conjunction ve {וְ | wə} 'and', linking the proper nouns Shaalabbin {שַֽׁעֲלַבִּ֥ין | šalʿalabbīn}, Aiyalon {אַיָּל֖וֹן | ʾayyālōn}, and Yitlah {יִתְלָֽה | yiṯlāh}. Each toponym appears in the absolute state, forming a straightforward enumeration typical of tribal boundary lists. The absence of finite verbs marks this clause as a continuation of the geographic catalogue. In English, serial commas and the conjunction “and” before the final item preserve the Hebrew listing rhythm.
