Named at 1 Samuel 14:31: “They struck the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint”. This collection keeps it apart from the Aijalon of Judges 12:12 and from the valley of Aijalon of Joshua 10:12, and does not decide whether they are the same place.

31They struck the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint;
32and the people pounced on the plunder, and took sheep, cattle, and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood.
33Then they told Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against the LORD, in that they eat meat with the blood.” He said, “You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me today!”
34Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them, ‘Every man bring me here his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat; and don’t sin against the LORD in eating meat with the blood.’” All the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there.
35Saul built an altar to the LORD. This was the first altar that he built to the LORD.
