Possibly the Beth- (q.v.), which is added to the name in its mention elsewhere, and which sometimes superseded the Baal- (q.v.) of the original name, is one of the changes referred to. SEE BAALIM.’ It is also named in 1Ch 5:8, and on each occasion with Nebo. In the time of Ezekiel it was in the possession of the Moabites, and under that prosperous dominion had evidently become a place of distinction, being noticed as one of the cities which are the glory of the country (Eze 25:9). In the days of Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v. , Balmen) it was still a very large village called Balmano, 9 miles distant from Heshbon (, Esbus), near the mountain of the hot springs, and reputed to be the native place of Elisha. At the distance of two miles south-east of Heshbon, Burckhardt (2. 624) found the ruins of a place called Myoun, or (as Dr. Robinson [Researches, 3, Append. p. 170] corrects it) Main, which is doubtless the same; so Schwarz, Main (Palest. p. 227). In Num 32:3, apparently the same place is called BEON, perhaps by an error of the copyists or by contraction.<\/p>\n

It is identified with the modern M’ain, about 3 miles south-east of Heshbon.<\/p>\n (“owner of an habitation”.) Reuben in occupying it along with Nebo (Num 32:38) changed the names, probably for the idol name Baal substituting Beth Meon. Ezekiel (Eze 25:9) calls it a city on Moab’s frontiers, and with Beth-jeshimoth and Kiriathaim, “the glory of the country.” The reputed birthplace of Elisha. Jerome describes it as a very large village, nine miles from Heshbon. The famous Moabite stone of Dibon mentions that as Omri made Medeba a military center for opposing Moab, so Mesha occupied Baal Meon as his center for assailing Israel; “I Mesha, son of Kamos (Chemosh), fortified Baal Meon, and I besieged and took Kiriathaim and Nebo,” etc.<\/p>\n BAAL-MEON.A city of Moah assigned to Reuhen. The name occurs in Num 32:38 as Baal-meon, but in Jos 13:17 as Beth-baal-meon; both forms being found also on the Moahite Stone; cf. Eze 25:9, 1Ch 5:8; also Beth-meon of Jer 48:23. It is to be identified with the modern Main, about 5 miles S.W. of Medeba.<\/p>\n G. L.

As Beth-baal-meon it was given by Moses to the tribe of Reuben (Jos 13:17). Mesha names it as fortified by him (MS, L. 9). It appears in Jer 48:23 as Beth-meon, one of the cities of Moab. Eusebius, Onomasticon speaks of it as a large village near the hot springs, i.e. Callirrhoe, in Wady Zerka Main, 9 miles from Heshbon. This points to the ruined site of Man, about 4 miles Southwest of Madeba. The ruins now visible however are not older than Roman times.<\/p>\n Baal-Meon (Num 32:38; 1Ch 5:8; otherwise Beth-Meon, Jer 48:23, and Beth-Baal-Meon, Jos 13:17), a town in the tribe of Reuben beyond the Jordan, but which was in the possession of the Moabites in the time of Ezekiel (Eze 25:9).
