Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(23) Kiriathaim.--See Jeremiah 48:1.Beth-gamul.--The place is not named in the earlier lists of Numbers 32:34-38 and Joshua 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 Ha-ran. 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 Joshua 13:17, as Baal-meon in Numbers 32:38; 1Chronicles 5:8; Ezekiel 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. . . .
