Baalah
(Hebrews Btalah’, , mistress, civitas), the name of two cities and of one mountain. SEE BAALATH.
1. (Sept. v. r. .) A city in the southern part of Judah, mentioned in connection with Beersheba and lim (Jos 15:29), apparently the same elsewhere called BALAH (Jos 19:3), also BILHAH, and assigned to Simeon (1Ch 4:29). In the firstnamed passage it forms part of the preceding name Bizjothjah-Bnalah. SEE BIZJOTHJAH.
2. (Sept. v. r. , but omits in 1 Chronicles) A city on the northern border of Judah (Jos 15:10), better known as KIRJATH- JEARIM (q.v.) (Jos 15:9; 1Ch 13:6), otherwise called BAALE OF JUDAH (2Sa 6:2). In Jos 15:60; Jos 18:14, it is called KIRJATH-BAAL. From the expression Baalah, which is Kirjath- jearim (comp. Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, 18:28), it would seem as if Baalah were the earlier or Canaanite appellation of the place.
3. (Sept. v. r. , etc.) A mountain () on the N.W. boundary of Judah, between Shicron and Jabneel (Jos 15:11), usually regarded as the same with Mount Jearim (Jos 15:10), from the neighboring Kirjath-baal; but erroneously (see Keil, Comment. in loc.), for the direction in the text requires a location more westerly, apparently at the modern Tell Hermes (Van de Velde, Map). SEE TRIBE.

Baalah
mistress; city. (1.) A city in the south of Judah (Josh. 15:29), elsewhere called Balah (Josh. 19:3) and Bilhah (1 Chr. 4:29). Now Khurbet Zebalah.

Baalah
BAALAH (the Canaanite designation) equates to KIRJATH JEARIM, or KIRJATH BAAL, now Kuriat el E’nab (Jos 15:9-10-11 (“Mount Baal”), 60); supposed by many to be Emmaus. in 2Sa 6:2 called BAALE of Judah; Jos 19:3 Balah; 1Ch 4:29 BILHAH.

Baalah
baa-la , baalah; possessor, mistress): three occurrences of this name:
(1) = KIRIATH-JEARIM (which see) (Jos 15:9, Jos 15:10; 1Ch 13:6).
(2) A city in the Negeb of Judah (Jos 15:29). In Jos 19:3 Balah and in 1Ch 4:29 Bilhah; perhaps also Boaloth of Jos 15:24. The site is unknown; but see PEF, III, 26.
(3) Mount Baalah (Jos 15:11), a mountain ridge 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 rubn. 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.

Baalah
Baalah, Baale-Judah, Kirjath-Baal [KIRJATH-JEARIM].
Baalah (Jos 15:29), Balah (Jos 19:3), Bilhah (1Ch 4:29), a town in the tribe of Simeon, usually confounded with Baalath; but, as the latter was in Dan and this in Simeon, they would appear to have been distinct.
