ATS Bible Dictionary

Baalath

A town in the tribe of God, Joshua 19:44. This lay not far from Bethhoron. It is uncertain whether it is the same as the Baalath rebuilt by Solomon, 1 Kings 9:18 2 Chronicles 8:6.

Easton's Bible Dictionary

A town of the tribe of Dan (Joshua 19:44). It was fortified by Solomon (1 Kings 9:18; 2 Chronicles 8:6). Some have identified it with Bel'ain, in Wady Deir Balut.

BAALATH

ba'-a-lath ba`alath; (A, Baalon): between Shikkeron (Ekron) and Jabnoel unless, as seems probable, the suggestion of M. Clermont-Ganneau (Rev. Crit, 1897, 902) is correct that for har (= "mount"), we should read nahar ("river"). In this case the border in question would be the Nahr rubin. 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."

(1) A town on the border of Dan (Joshua 19:44) associated with Eltekeh and Gibbethon-possibly Bela`in.

(2) ("Mistress-ship"): A store city of Solomon, mentioned with Beth-horon (1 Kings 9:18 2 Chronicles 8:6) and possibly the same as (1).
