Where is Baal-tamar in the Bible?
Baal-tamar was a location in the territory of Benjamin, near the city of Gibeah, in the central highlands of ancient Israel. It appears in the Book of Judges as the site where the Israelites strategically positioned themselves during their conflict against the tribe of Benjamin (Judges 20:33). The name means "Lord of the Palm Tree," and some scholars suggest it may be connected with the palm tree of Deborah mentioned in Judges 4:5, which stood between Bethel and Ramah. The exact location of Baal-tamar is unknown today, though it was recognized in ancient times by early Christian scholars such as Eusebius. This site holds significance in biblical history as part of the narrative of Israel's internal conflict and the judgment against Benjamin for the outrage at Gibeah.
