Bealoth

BEALOTH be’ ə lŏth (בְּעָלֹֽות; LXX A Βαλωθ, B Βαλμαιναν; mistresses, possessors). A city in the extreme S of Judah (Josh 15:24). It seems to be the same as the city called Baal (1 Chron 4:33) or Baalath-beer, Ramah of the Negeb (Josh 19:8) or Ramoth of the Negeb (1 Sam 30:27). Another place, related to the tribe of Asher, is referred to in 1 Kings 4:16.
