BAAL-MEON

ba'-al-me'-on ba`al me`on; Beelmeon: A town built by the children of Reuben along with Nebo, "their names being changed" (Numbers 32:38 ), identical with Beon of Numbers 32:3 . As Beth-baal-meon it was given by Moses to the tribe of Reuben (Joshua 13:17 ). Mesha names it as fortified by him (MS, L. 9). It appears in Jeremiah 48:23  as Beth-meon, one of the cities of Moab.
