Baalath (2)

Baalath (Jos 19:44; Josephus, Ant. 8:6, 1) is regarded by Lieut. Conder (Tent Work? ii, 334) as identical with the present ruins at the village of Bel'ain, seven miles east of Jimzu, and ten west of Beitin, a position to which Tristram accedes (Bible Places, p. 51), although he elsewhere ('ibid. p. 198) adopts Van de Velde's location at Deir Balut.
