Baal-meon

''lord (ba'al) of dwelling''), was the name of a town of Reuben, that some have identified as modern-day Ma'in in Jordan.

[1] Ba'al Meon is mentioned in the Stele of Mesha, a 9th-century king of Moab, who claimed to have seized it.

[2] A place with the same name is also referenced in the Samaria Ostraca, suggesting the possibility that the town was later reclaimed by the Israelites.

[3] The town is referenced in Jeremiah's prophecy concerning Moab, indicating he knew it as a Moabite town (Jeremiah 48:23).
