During the 16th and 17th centuries, Jalama belonged to the Turabay Emirate (1517-1683), which encompassed also the Jezreel Valley, Haifa, Jenin, Beit She'an Valley, northern Jabal Nablus, Bilad al-Ruha/Ramot Menashe, and the northern part of the Sharon plain.

They paid a fixed tax rate of 25% on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues; a total of 8,000 akçe.

[9][10] In 1870, Victor Guérin noted the village on a hill, which sides had cisterns carved into rock and silos.
