The meaning of Baalath-beer in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)ba'-a-lath-be'-er ba'alath be'er "lady (mistress) of the well"; Joshua 19:8 (in I Chronicles 4:33, Baal)): In Jos. this place is designated "Ramah of the South," i.e. of the Negeb, while in I Samuel 30:27 it is described as Ramoth of the Negeb. It must have been a prominent hill (ramah = "height") in the far south of the Negeb and near a well be'er. The site is unknown though Conder suggests that the shrine Kubbet el Baul may retain the old name.
