Joshua 13:17

Bamoth-baal It was a site of the old heathen worship of Baal. It is probably mentioned under the shorter form of Bamoth, Numbers 21:19, or "Bamoth-in-the-ravine." It occurs again in Isaiah 15:2.

Beth-baal-meon At the first approach of the Israelites to this part of Palestine (Numbers 32:38) it is called Baal-Meon, or in its contracted form Beon(Numbers 32:3). The Beth is probably a Hebrew addition, and the word denotes "the House of Baal of the den." The name still clings to a ruined place of considerable size, a short distance S. W. of Heshbân, and bearing the name of the fortress of Mi"ûn.
