Baal-Hermon

A Hivite territory in Transjordan near Mount Hermon. It was not captured in the Israelite conquest.

God used this region and others to test the younger generation of Israel (Judges 3:1–6). Baal-hermon may refer to a place on the mountain. It seems to be another name for Baal-gad (Joshua 13:5).
