The meaning of Baali in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)
ba'-a-li ba'ali, "my master"): Baal, a common name for all heathen gods, had in common practice been used also of Yahweh. Hosea (Hosea 2:16-17) demands that Yahweh be no longer called Ba'ali ("my Baal" = "my lord") but 'Ishi ("my husband"), and we find that later the Israelites abandoned the use of Ba'al for Yahweh.
