Balah

Ba'lah (Heb. Balah', בָּלָה, a contraction of the name Baalah or Bilhah; Sept. Βαλά v. r. Βωλά), a city in the tribe of Simeon, mentioned in connection with Hazar-shual and Azem (Jos 19:3). It seems to have been the same with that elsewhere called BIHAH (1Ch 4:29) or BAALAH (Jos 15:29), and, if so, it must have been transferred to Judah, or so ac. counted in later times, like many other cities of this region. SEE BIZJOTHJAH.
