(Hebrews Badlath' Beer', בְּאֵר בִּעִלִת , Baalah Of [or having] A Well; Sept. Βααλάθ v. r. Βαλέκ ), probably the same as the BAAL of 1 Chronicles 4:33, a city of Simeon; mentioned in connection with RAMATH — Negeb, or Southern Ramah ( Joshua 19:8; comp. 1 Samuel 30:27), in such a manner as to make them identical (so the Sept. B. Πορευομένων Βηῤῥαμώθ ; Vulg. Baalath-Beerramoth). (See Ramath). It is also the same with the BEALOTH (See Bealoth) (q.v.) of Judah ( Joshua 15:24). Other sacred wells in this parched region were the Beer-lahai-roi, the "well of the vision of God;" and Beer-sheba, the "well of the oath." (See Beer).
(Bealoth or Ramath- negeb). "From the incidental notices and the names we gather that it was a watering-place of importance (Beer-Baal) and had artificial tanks; that' it was on a commanding height (Ramath); that it was on the frontier,-and we might expect traces of fortification to remain :All these conditions are fulfilled in Kurnab, south-west of Dhullam, where alone for many miles water is always found in plenty, and where the ravine is crossed by a strong dam to retain it. The walls of a fortified town are yet clearly to be traced, with extensive ruins, and it is at the head of the most frequented pass into Palestine from. the south-east" (Tristram, Bible Places, p. 17).
