Beth-meon – Meon is probably the Moabite Olympus, and thus Beth-Baal-Meon, the full name of this town Jos 13:17, would signify the place where the heavenly Baal was worshipped.

Beth-meon“thehouse of habitation”: Beth-baalmeon (Jos13:17). Now its ruins are called Miun.

And upon Kirjathaim,…. Of which see Jer 48:1;
and upon Bethgamul; this is nowhere else mentioned in Scripture; supposed by Grotius to be the Maccala of Ptolemy, put for Camala:
and upon Bethmeon: of which see Isa 15:2.

(23) Kiriathaim.See Jer. 48:1.
Beth-gamul.The place is not named in the earlier lists of Num. 32:34-38 and Jos. 13:16-20. The name (=house of the camel) has a parallel in Gamala, and appears in the modern Um-el-Jemal, south of Buzrah, in the Haran. This, however, lies out of the range of the Mishor, or plain country, to which the cities here enumerated belonged.
Beth-meon.The name appears in its full form as Beth-baal-meon in Jos. 13:17, as Baal-meon in Num. 32:38; 1Ch. 5:8; Eze. 25:8. The name Meon (= citadel of heaven) survives in the modern Miun. Its combination with Baal makes it probable that it was famous as a sanctuary where the Moabite Baal was worshipped.
