(Hebrews Btalah', בּעֲלָה , Mistress, Civitas), the name of two cities and of one mountain. (See Baalath).
1. (Sept. Βααλάθ v. r. Βαλά .) A city in the southern part of Judah, mentioned in connection with Beersheba and lim ( Joshua 15:29), apparently the same elsewhere called BALAH ( Joshua 19:3), also BILHAH, and assigned to Simeon ( 1 Chronicles 4:29). In the firstnamed passage it forms part of the preceding name Bizjothjah-Bnalah. (See Bizjothjah).
2. (Sept. Βααλάθ v. r. Βαάλ , but omits in 1 Chronicles) A city on the northern border of Judah ( Joshua 15:10), better known as Kirjath- Jearim (q.v.) ( Joshua 15:9; 1 Chronicles 13:6), otherwise called Baale Of Judah ( 2 Samuel 6:2). In Joshua 15:60; Joshua 18:14, it is called KIRJATH-BAAL. From the expression "Baalah, which is Kirjath- jearim" (comp. "Jebusi, which is Jerusalem," 18:28), it would seem as if Baalah were the earlier or Canaanite appellation of the place.
3. (Sept. Γῆ Βααλάθ v. r. Ἐπὶ Λίβα , etc.) A mountain ( הִר ) on the N.W. boundary of Judah, between Shicron and Jabneel ( Joshua 15:11), usually regarded as the same with Mount Jearim ( Joshua 15:10), from the neighboring Kirjath-baal; but erroneously (see Keil, Comment. in loc.), for the direction in the text requires a location more westerly, apparently at the modern Tell Hermes (Van de Velde, Map). (See Tribe).
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [8]
bā´a - la בּעלה , ba‛ălāh ; "possessor," "mistress"): three occurrences of this name:
(1) = Kiriath-Jearim (which see) ( Joshua 15:9 , Joshua 15:10; 1 Chronicles 13:6 ).
(2) A city in the Negeb of Judah ( Joshua 15:29 ). In Joshua 19:3 Balah and in 1 Chronicles 4:29 Bilhah; perhaps also Boaloth of Joshua 15:24 . The site is unknown; but see PEF , III, 26.
(3) Mount Baalah ( Joshua 15:11 ), a mountain ridge between Shikkeron (Ekron) and Jabnoel unless, as seems probable, the suggestion of M. Clermont-Ganneau ( Rev. Crit , 1897, 902) is correct that for הר , har ( = "mount"), we should read נהר , nāhār ("river"). In this case the border in question would be the Nahr rubı̂n . Here there is an annual feast held - attended by all classes and famous all over Syria - which appears to be a real survival of "Baal worship."
Kitto's Popular Cyclopedia of Biblial Literature [9]

Baalah ( Joshua 15:29), Balah ( Joshua 19:3), Bilhah ( 1 Chronicles 4:29), a town in the tribe of Simeon, usually confounded with Baalath; but, as the latter was in Dan and this in Simeon, they would appear to have been distinct.
