Possibly the "Beth-" (q.v.), which is added to the name in its mention elsewhere, and which sometimes superseded the "Baal-" (q.v.) of the original name, is one of the changes referred to. (See [[Baalim]]).' It is also named in 1 Chronicles 5:8, and on each occasion with Nebo. In the time of Ezekiel it was in the possession of the Moabites, and under that prosperous dominion had evidently become a place of distinction, being noticed as one of the cities which are the '''''‘''''' glory of the country" ( Ezekiel 25:9). In the days of [[Eusebius]] and [[Jerome]] ''(Onomast.'' s.v. '''''Βεελμαούς''''' , Balmen) it was still a very large village called ''Balmano,'' 9 miles distant from [[Heshbon]] ''( '''''Ι᾿Έβους''''' , Esbus),'' near the "mountain of the hot springs," and reputed to be the native place of Elisha. At the distance of two miles south-east of Heshbon, [[Burckhardt]] (2. 624) found the ruins of a place called ''Myoun,'' or (as Dr. Robinson ''[Researches,'' 3, Append. p. 170] corrects it) Main, which is doubtless the same; so Schwarz, Main (Palest. p. 227). In Numbers 32:3, apparently the same place is called BEON, perhaps by an error of the copyists or by contraction. </p> | ||
