Baal-Tamar
Baal-tamar
(Hebrews Ba’al Tamar’, , place ofpalm-trees; Sept. ), a place neai Gibeah, in the tribe of Benjamin, where the other tribes fought with the Benjamites (Jdg 20:33). It was doubtless so called as being one of the sanctuaries or groves of Baal. See BAALIM. The palm-tree () of Deborah (Jdg 4:5) was situated somewhere in the locality, and is possibly alluded to (Stanley, Palest. p. 145). Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v. , Baalthamar) call it Bethamar (, Bethamari), thus affording another instance of that interchange of Beth and Baal which is also exemplified in Baal-shalisha and Baal-Meon. The notices seem to correspond to the present ruined site Erhah, about three miles N.E. of Jerusalem (Van de Velde, Map), on a ravine running toward Anathoth (Robinson, Researches, 2, 315 note).

Baal-Tamar
ba-al-tamar , baal tamar; , Baal Thamar, 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).
