Baal-Shalisha
Baal-shalisha
(Hebrews Ba’al Shalishah’ , lord of Shalishah, or having a third; Sept. v. r. and ), a place named only in 2Ki 4:42, as that from which the man came with provisions for Elisha, apparently not far from (the Ephraimite) Gilgal (comp. v. 38). It was doubtless in the district of Shalisha (q.v.) which is mentioned in 1Sa 9:4; but whether it took its name thence, or from some modification of the worship of Baal (q.v.), of which it was the seat, is uncertain. See BAALIM. Eusebius and Jerome describe it (Onomast. , Bethsalisa, where the frequent interchange of Baal and Beth is observable) as a city 15 R. miles N. of Diospolis, near Matthew Ephraim. These indications correspond, to the site of the present ruins Khurbet Hatta, about midway between Yafa and Sebustieh (Van de Velde, Map).

Baal Shalisha
(“lord of Shalisha”.) (2Ki 4:42; 1Sa 9:4). Not far from Gilgal, Baith Sarisain the Septuagint. The Onomasticon places it about 15 Roman miles N. of Lydda (Diospolis). The ruin Sirisia exactly corresponds to this; the fellahin often interchange “l” and “r.” It lies in the low district, where, as the Talmud says, the fruits ripen early.

Baal-Shalisha
We meet with mention of this place, 2Ki 4:42, but whether there was an idol there, is not said. Shalesh is the Hebrew for three. So that it may be read the lord of three. But the cause for the name is difficult to explain.
