The place

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; 1 Chronicles 4:33). The town was governed by Ben-hesed during Solomon's reign (1 Kings 4:16). David sent gifts to the elders of Baalath-beer (Ramoth) after defeating the Amalekites (1 Samuel 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.
