Baalah of the well, (Jos_19:8, probably the same as Baal, mentioned in 1Ch_4:33, a city of Simeon.


bā´a-lath-bē´ẽr (בּעלת בּאר, ba‛alath be'ēr “lady (mistress) of the well”; Jos_19:8 (in 1Ch_4:33, Baal)):

In Josh this place is designated “Ramah of the South,” i.e. of the Negeb, while in 1Sa_30:27 it is described as Ramoth of the Negeb. It must have been a prominent hill (rāmāh = “height”) in the far south of the Negeb and near a well (be'ēr). The site is unknown though Conder suggests that the shrine Kubbet el Baul may retain the old name.
