BAAL-MEON

(Heb. baʿal mĕʿôn)

A town (modern Maʿîn, 219120) known variously as Baal-meon (Num. 32:38), Beon (32:3), Beth-baal-meon (Josh. 13:17), or Beth-meon (Jer. 48:23), located 14.5 km. (9 mi.) E of the Dead Sea. Part of Moses’ gift to the tribes of Reuben and Gad in return for military services against Sihon the Amorite, Baal-meon was rebuilt or fortified by the Reubenites (Num. 32:38). It fell into Moabite hands in the 9th century b.c.e. in the revolt led by King Mesha, who claims in his stela (the Mesha inscription, l. 9) that he built a reservoir at Baal-meon.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
