(Heb. Bilam', בַּלְעָם, same name as Balaam [q.v.]; Sept. Ι᾿εμβλάαν v. r. Ι᾿βλαάμ; Vulg. Baalam), a town in the western half of the tribe of Manasseh, named in 1 Chronicles 6:70 as being given (with its "suburbs") to the Kohathites. In the lists in Joshua 17, 21 this name does not appear, but IBLEAM (See Ibleam) (q.v.) and (See Gath-Rimmon) are substituted for it, the former by an easy change of letters, the latter uncertain. (See Belamon) ( Βελαμών ) of Judith 8:3.
