-al -tā´mar בּעל תּמר , ba‛al tāmār  ; Βαὰλ Θαμάρ , Baál Thamár , "Baal of the palm tree"): Evidently a seat of heathen worship ( Judges 20:33 ) between Bethel and Gibeah (compare Judges 20:18 , Judges 20:31 ). The place was known to Eusebius ( Onomasticon , which see), but trace of the name is now lost. Conder suggests that it may be connected with the palm tree of Deborah ( Judges 4:5 ) which was between Bethel and Ramah ( HDB , under the word).
