Baal-Hamon
Baal-hamon
(Hebrews Ba il Hamon’, . place of multitude; Sept. ), a place where Solomon is said to have had an extensive vineyard (Son 8:11). Rosenmller (Alterth. I, 2:281) conceives that if this Baal-hamon was the name of a place that actually existed, it may be reasonably supposed identical with Baal-gad or Heliopolis; for Hamon was a chief Phoenician god (Davis, Carthage, p. 256, 262), perhaps the Ammon of the Eyptians (see Nah 3:8), whom the Greeks identialed with Jupiter (Bib. Geog. 2, 253). We are not inclined to lay much stress on this conjecture (see Iken, Dissert. philo. in loc.), which, however, is adopted by Schwarz (Palest. p. 61). SEE BAAL-GAD. There was a place called Hammoan, in the tribe of Asher (Jos 19:28), which Ewald (Comment. in loc.) thinks was the same as Baal- hamon; but there is little probability in this conjecture. The book of Judith (8:3) places a Balamon () or Belamon () in central Palestine, near Dothaim, and therefore in the mountains of Ephraim, not far north of Samaria. SEE BALAMO. If it be the same place (see Gesenius, Thes. Heb. p. 225), this vineyard may have been in one of the fat valleys of the drunkards of Ephraim, who are overcome with wine, to which allusion is made in Isa 28:1. It appears to have been situated among the eminences south-east of Jenin. SEE BETH-HAGGAN; SEE BAALIM

Baal-Hamon
I am inclined to think that this was not an idol, but a place; for the church, celebrating the glories of her Solomon, saith, that he had a vineyard at Baal-hamon (Son 8:11) Hamon, is people, multitudes, or riches. So that Baal-hamon may be rendered, lord or master of a troop, or people. We all apprehend, that “the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house, of Israel; and the men of Judah his pleasant plant.” (Isa 5:7)
