Dictionary Summary: Lord of fortune, or troop of Baal, a Canaanite city in the valley of Lebanon at the foot of Hermon, hence called Baal-hermon (Judge. 3:3; [1 Chr. 5:23](/1chr#1Chr.5.23)), near the source of the Jordan ([Josh. 13:5](/josh#Josh.13.5); [11:17](/josh#Josh.11.17); [12:7](/josh#Josh.12.7)). It was the most northern point to which Joshua’s conquests extended. It probably derived its name from the worship of Baal. Its modern representative is Banias. Some have supposed it to be the same as Baalbec. 2
