Baalath-beer Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Baalath-beer, also known as Bealoth, Baal, or Ramoth, was a town located in the Negev region of Canaan. It was initially part of the territory allotted to the tribe of Judah (Joshua 15:24) but was later given to the tribe of Simeon as part of their inheritance within Judah's territory (Joshua 19:8; 1Ch.4.33). The town was governed by Ben-hesed during Solomon's reign (1Ki.4.16). David sent gifts to the elders of Baalath-beer (Ramoth) after defeating the Amalekites (1Sa.30.27), suggesting that the town was friendly to him. The exact location of Baalath-beer is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the northern Negev, south of Judah.
