bā-al-tā?mar בּעל תּמר, ba‛al tāmār; Βαὰλ Θαμάρ, Baál Thamár, ?Baal of the palm tree?): Evidently a seat of heathen worship (Jdg_20:33) between Bethel and Gibeah (compare Jdg_20:18, Jdg_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 (Jdg_4:5) which was between Bethel and Ramah (HDB, under the word).
