<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]] (&nbsp;Joshua 24:11), "the men ( '''''Baliy''''' , possessors, occupants) of Jericho." Also "the men ( '''''Baliy''''' , occupants) of Shechem," the ancient city of the [[Hivite]] [[Hamor]] (&nbsp;Judges 9:2-51); the occupants of Keilah, bordering on pagandom (&nbsp;1 Samuel 23:11-12); [[Uriah]] the Hittite; "lords of the pagan" (&nbsp;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 &nbsp;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 (&nbsp;Psalms 16:4), was to be renounced for the unambiguous Ishi. </p>
