Thus, Baal-hamon can be interpreted as "lord of a multitude" or "lord of abundance."<br><br><b>Biblical Reference:</b> <br>Baal-hamon is mentioned in the <a href="/songs/8-11.htm">Song of Solomon 8:11</a>: "Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon. He leased out the vineyard to keepers; each one was to bring for its fruit a thousand shekels of silver." <br><br><b>Historical and Cultural Context:</b> <br>Baal-hamon is believed to be a location of significant agricultural productivity, possibly a region known for its vineyards. The mention of Solomon's vineyard in Baal-hamon suggests a place of economic importance, where the produce of the land was substantial enough to be leased out for a considerable sum. The reference to a thousand shekels of silver indicates the high value placed on the produce of this vineyard, reflecting the wealth and prosperity associated with Solomon's reign.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b> <br>In the context of the Song of Solomon, Baal-hamon serves as a metaphor for abundance and prosperity. The vineyard symbolizes not only material wealth but also the richness of love and relationships. The leasing of the vineyard can be seen as a representation of stewardship and responsibility, themes that resonate throughout the biblical narrative.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Interpretation:</b> <br>From a symbolic perspective, Baal-hamon can be seen as a representation of God's provision and the blessings bestowed upon His people. The vineyard, a common biblical symbol, often represents Israel or the people of God, and the abundance of Baal-hamon may symbolize the spiritual and material blessings that come from faithfulness and obedience to God.<br><br><b>Archaeological and Geographical Considerations:</b> <br>The exact location of Baal-hamon is not definitively known, and it is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible outside of the Song of Solomon. Some scholars suggest it may have been located in the northern part of ancient Israel, possibly in the region of Samaria or near the Jezreel Valley, areas known for their fertile land and agricultural output.<br><br><b>Connections to Other Biblical Themes:</b> <br>The concept of a vineyard is prevalent throughout Scripture, often used to illustrate themes of growth, fruitfulness, and divine care. In <a href="/bsb/isaiah/5.htm">Isaiah 5</a>, the vineyard is used as a metaphor for Israel, highlighting God's expectations for His people and the consequences of their unfaithfulness. Similarly, in the New Testament, Jesus uses the imagery of the vineyard in parables to teach about the Kingdom of God and the responsibilities of His followers (e.g., <a href="/matthew/21-33.htm">Matthew 21:33-41</a>).<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>While Baal-hamon is mentioned only once in the Bible, its reference in the Song of Solomon provides a rich tapestry of meaning, intertwining themes of abundance, stewardship, and divine blessing. The vineyard at Baal-hamon serves as a reminder of the prosperity that comes from living in accordance with God's will and the responsibilities that accompany such blessings.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Baal-Hamon</span><p>who rules a crowd<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Place of a multitude, a place where Solomon had an extensive vineyard (Cant. 8:11).
