Beth-ba'al-me'on. (house of Baalmeon). A place in the possessions of Reuben, on the downs, (Authorized Version, "plain"), east of the Jordan. Jos_13:17. At the Israelites' first approach, it's name was Baal-Meon, Num_32:38, or, in its contracted form, Beon, Num_32:3, to which the Beth was possibly a Hebrew addition.
Later, it would seem to have come into possession of Moab, and to be known either as Beth-meon, Jer_48:23 or Baal-meon. Eze_25:9. The name is still attached to a ruined place of considerable size, a short distance to the southwest of Hesban, and bearing the name of "the fortress of Mi'un," or Makin.

Beth-baal-Meon
The ruins of this place, the present Main, are of vast extent. They occupy the crests and slopes of four adjacent hills one having evidently been the central city, and connected with the next by a wide causeway. The remains are of the ordinary type-foundations, fragments of wall, lines of streets, old arches, many carved stones, caves, wells, and cisterns innumerable. Some curious cavernous dwellings, built up with arches and fragments of old columns, are still occasionally used by the Arabs as folds and sleeping- places. The position of Baal-meon, the name (The habitations of Baal), and the commanding views gained from the neighboring peaks, would seem to show that here are the very high places of Baal to which Balak king of Moab led Balaam, that he might see the utmost part of the people, and curse them for him (Num_22:41). Balak met Balaam on the banks of the Arnon; he led him thence to Kirjath-huzoth (the Town of Streets), which may perhaps be identical with the ruin Kureiyat (the Towns), situated at the southern base of Jebel Attfards; and then on the next day Balak brought the prophet to the high places of Baal, that he might obtain a full view of the Israelites. See Tristram, Land of Moab, p. 316 sq.
