Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they passed through Mount Ephraim,.... The mountainous part of that tribe, which lay contiguous to the tribe of Benjamin, where it might be supposed the asses had strayed to:
and passed through the land of Shalisha; a tract in the tribe of Benjamin, so called from some illustrious person, prince, and duke of it; in it very probably was the place called Baalshalisha; 2 Kings 4:42 and which perhaps is the same Jerom calls x Bethshalisha; and says there was a village of this name in the borders of Diospolis, almost fifteen miles distance from it to the north, in the Tamnitic country; though Bunting y says it was situated in Mount Ephraim, eight miles from Jerusalem to the northwest:
but they found them not; the asses, neither in Mount Ephraim, nor in the land of Shalisha:
then they passed through the land of Shalim which some take to be the same with Salim, where John was baptizing, John 3:23 but Jerom says z it was a village on the borders of Eleutheropolis, to the west, seven miles distant from it:
and [there they] were not; the asses could not be found there:
and he passed through the land of the Benjamites; or rather of Jemini, which was in Benjamin, so called from a famous man of that name; for it cannot be thought they should pass through the whole tribe of Benjamin in one day. And, according to Bunting a, from Gibeah, the native place of Saul, through the mountain of Ephraim, and the land of Shalisha, to the borders of Shalim, were sixteen miles; and from thence to Jemini, in the tribe of Benjamin, sixteen more:
but they found them not; the asses.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The land of Shalisha was somewhere near Gilgal, i. e., Jiljulieh. It is thought to derive its name from âthreeâ (Shalosh) wadys which unite in the wady of Karawa. The situation of Shalim is not known: its etymology connects it more probably with the land of Shual 1 Samuel 13:17, apparently round Taiyibeh, which was about nine miles from Gibeah.
