	SHEPHELAH in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online)
		Wady ec-Surar, the Valley of Sorek, crosses the Shephelah South of Gezer, and pursues a tortuous course past Beth-shemesh and Kiriath-jearim to the plateau Southwest of Jerusalem.
		From the Shephelah thus opened the gateways by which Judea and Jerusalem might be assailed: and the course of these avenues determined the course of much of the history.
		It is evident that the shephelah lay open to attack from both sides, and for centuries it was the debatable land between Israel and the Philistines.

	Shephelah - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		At an early day the tribes of Da and Simeon were practically absorbed by Judah, and hence, we find in Joshua 15 many cities in the Shephelah which belonged to that tribe (LB, I, 211).
		This contention draws support from the mention of the Philistine cities immediately after those of Judah, which are said to be in the Shephelah (Joshua 15:45; these verses can hardly be ruled out as of a later date).
		On the other hand the Philistines are said to have invaded the cities of the Shephelah (2 Chronicles 28:18), which implies that it was outside their country.

	Palestine & The Land
		Palestine, in a geographical sense not a political one, can be thought of as the Coastal Plain (the low lands), the Shephelah (the Judean foothills), Mountain Region (the central hill country), the Great Rift Valley, and the Negev (southern desert).
		The Shephelah ("lowland") is a region of low valleys and hills, or foothills, lying between the Coastal Plain and the true hill or central mountain region.
		While well-drained and farmed, these limestone hills, suitable for pasture and for growing grapes and olive trees, were not as attractive to ancient peoples as the Coastal Plain.
