Baale of Judah

Baale of Judah, meaning "lords of Judah"[1] or "citizens of Judah"[2] was a city in the tribe of Judah from which David brought the ark into Jerusalem.[3] In 1 Chronicles 13:6, the city is called Kirjath-jearim.[4] According to Wilhelm Gesenius, the town of Baale of Judah is referred to not only as Kirjath-Jearim but also as Baalah.[5]
