Beth-meon - Meon is probably the Moabite Olympus, and thus Beth-Baal-Meon, the full name of this town Jos 13:17, would signify the place where the heavenly Baal was worshipped.

(23) Kiriathaim.—See Jer_48:1.
Beth-gamul.—The place is not named in the earlier lists of Num_32:34-38 and Jos_13:16-20. The name (=house of the camel) has a parallel in Gamala, and appears in the modern Um-el-Jemal, south of Buzrah, in the Haûran. This, however, lies out of the range of the Mishor, or “plain country,” to which the cities here enumerated belonged.

Beth-meon.—The name appears in its full form as Beth-baal-meon in Jos_13:17, as Baal-meon in Num_32:38; 1Ch_5:8; Eze_25:8. The name Meon (= citadel of heaven) survives in the modern Mi’un. Its combination with Baal makes it probable that it was famous as a sanctuary where the Moabite Baal was worshipped.
