Gur. [1]
(See Whelp).
Gur-ba'al (Hob. id. גּוּראּבִּעִל , Sojourn Of Baal; Sept. Πέτρα , Vulg. Gurbaal), a place in Arabia, successfully attacked by Uzziah (B.C. 803) ( 2 Chronicles 26:7); hence on the confines of Judaea; probably so called from having a temple of Baal. From the rendering of the Sept., Calmet infers that it was in Arabia Petraea. Arabian geographers mention a place called Baal on the Syrian road, north of E1-Medineh (Marasid, s.v.). The Targum reads "Arabs living in Gerar" — suggesting גּרר instead of גּוּר . (See Gerar). The ingenious conjectures of Bochart (Phaleg, ii, 22) respecting the Mehunim, who are mentioned together with the "Arabians that dwelt in Gur-Baal," may be considered as corroborating this identification (compare 1 Chronicles 4:39 sq.; see Ewald, Isr. Gesch. I, 322). (See Mehunim).
