| <p> BAAL as applied to places. It sometimes refers to Baal's worship there; sometimes it means that the place possesses some attribute denoted by the other part of the compound. It is a [[Canaanite]] not [[Hebrew]] term: applied to the men of [[Jericho]] while [[Canaanites]] ( Joshua 24:11), "the men (baliy , possessors, occupants) of Jericho." Also "the men (baliy , occupants) of Shechem," the ancient city of the [[Hivite]] [[Hamor]] ( Judges 9:2-51); the occupants of Keilah, bordering on pagandom ( 1 Samuel 23:11-12); [[Uriah]] the Hittite; "lords of the pagan" ( Isaiah 16:8). </p> <p> So strong was [[Israelite]] orthodox feeling against the name, that they altered names in which it occurred: [[Jerubbaal]] into Jerubbesheth, Merib-baal into Mephibosheth: compare Hosea 2:16. "At that day, saith Jehovah, thou shalt call Me Ishi, and shalt call Me no more Baali." Though both express "my husband," yet [[Baali]] by being used for the images of [[Baal]] whose name ought not to be taken up into the lips ( Psalms 16:4), was to be renounced for the unambiguous Ishi. </p> | | <p> A town of [[Simeon]] ( 1 Chronicles 4:33), identical with [[Baalath Beer]] ( Joshua 19:8), i.e. "Baal of the well", "holy well". Also called [[Ramath (Negeb]] "the heights (Ramath) of the S." (Negeb), a parched region ( Joshua 19:8). </p> |

| <p> '''''bā´al''''' בּעל , <i> '''''ba‛al''''' </i> , "lord," "master," "possessor"): </p> <p> (1) A descendant of Reuben, Jacob's first-born son, and the father of Beerah, prince of the Reubenites, "whom Tiglath-pileser ( 1 Chronicles 5:5 , 1 Chronicles 5:6 ) king of [[Assyria]] carried away captive." </p> <p> (2) The fourth of ten sons of Jeiel (King James Version "Jehiel"), father and founder of Gibeon. His mother was Maacah; his brother Kish father of Saul ( 1 Chronicles 8:29 f; 1 Chronicles 9:35 , 1 Chronicles 9:36 , 1 Chronicles 9:39; compare 1 Samuel 14:50 f). These passages identify Jeiel and Abiel as the father of Kish and Thus of Baal. For study of confusions in the genealogical record, in 1 Chronicles 9:36 , 1 Chronicles 9:39 , see [[Kish]]; [[Abiel]]; [[Jeiel]] . </p> <p> (3) In composition often the name of a man and not of the heathen god, e.g. Baal-hanan, a king of [[Edom]] ( Genesis 36:38; 1 Chronicles 1:49 ); also a royal prefect of the same name ( 1 Chronicles 27:28 ). [[Gesenius]] thinks that Baal in compound words rarely refers to the god by that name. See [[Baal]] (deity). </p> <p> (4) A city of the tribe of [[Simeon]] ( 1 Chronicles 4:33 ). See [[Baalath-Beer]] . </p> | | <p> בּעל , <i> ''''' ba‛al ''''' </i> ; Βάαλ , <i> ''''' Báal ''''' </i> 1 Chronicles 4:33 . See [[Baalath-Beer]] . </p> |
