BAALAH (the Canaanite designation) equates to KIRJATH JEARIM, or KIRJATH BAAL, now Kuriat el E'nab (Jos_15:9-10-11 ("Mount Baal"), 60); supposed by many to be Emmaus. in 2Sa_6:2 called BAALE of Judah; Jos_19:3 Balah; 1Ch_4:29 BILHAH.

Ba'alah. See Baal, 3.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


bā?a-la בּעלה, ba‛ălāh; ?possessor,? ?mistress?): three occurrences of this name:
(1) = KIRIATH-JEARIM (which see) (Jos_15:9, Jos_15:10; 1Ch_13:6).
(2) A city in the Negeb of Judah (Jos_15:29). In Jos_19:3 Balah and in 1Ch_4:29 Bilhah; perhaps also Boaloth of Jos_15:24. The site is unknown; but see PEF, III, 26.
(3) Mount Baalah (Jos_15:11), a mountain ridge between Shikkeron (Ekron) and Jabnoel unless, as seems probable, the suggestion of M. Clermont-Ganneau (Rev. Crit, 1897, 902) is correct that for הר, har ( = ?mount?), we should read נהר, nāhār (?river?). In this case the border in question would be the Nahr rubı̂n. Here there is an annual feast held - attended by all classes and famous all over Syria - which appears to be a real survival of ?Baal worship.?

Ba?alah, Baale-Judah, Kirjath-Baal [KIRJATH-JEARIM].
Baalah (Jos_15:29), Balah (Jos_19:3), Bilhah (1Ch_4:29), a town in the tribe of Simeon, usually confounded with Baalath; but, as the latter was in Dan and this in Simeon, they would appear to have been distinct.

Baalah
(Hebrews Btalah', בּעֲלָה, mistress, civitas), the name of two cities and of one mountain. SEE BAALATH.
1. (Sept. Βααλάθ v. r. Βαλά.) A city in the southern part of Judah, mentioned in connection with Beersheba and lim (Jos_15:29), apparently the same elsewhere called BALAH (Jos_19:3), also BILHAH, and assigned to Simeon (1Ch_4:29). In the firstnamed passage it forms part of the preceding name Bizjothjah-Bnalah. SEE BIZJOTHJAH.
2. (Sept. Βααλάθ v. r. Βαάλ, but omits in 1 Chronicles) A city on the northern border of Judah (Jos_15:10), better known as KIRJATH- JEARIM (q.v.) (Jos_15:9; 1Ch_13:6), otherwise called BAALE OF JUDAH (2Sa_6:2). In Jos_15:60; Jos_18:14, it is called KIRJATH-BAAL. From the expression “Baalah, which is Kirjath- jearim” (comp. “Jebusi, which is Jerusalem,” 18:28), it would seem as if Baalah were the earlier or Canaanite appellation of the place.
3. (Sept. γῆ Βααλάθ v. r. ἐπὶ λίβα, etc.) A mountain (הִר) on the N.W. boundary of Judah, between Shicron and Jabneel (Jos_15:11), usually regarded as the same with Mount Jearim (Jos_15:10), from the neighboring Kirjath-baal; but erroneously (see Keil, Comment. in loc.), for the direction in the text requires a location more westerly, apparently at the modern Tell Hermes (Van de Velde, Map). SEE TRIBE.
