BAAL-TAMAR

(Heb. baʿal tāmār)

A town near Gibeah where Israel ambushed the Benjaminites (Judg. 20:33-36). Its location and modern identification are unclear. The biblical text suggests a location near Gibeah, in the Benjaminite teritory N of Jerusalem. Some scholars have identified Baal-tamar with the “palm of Deborah,” slightly farther north in Ephraim (Judg. 4:5); others, with the biblical town of Tamar (Ezek. 47:19; 48:28) and the Roman town of Tamara (Meẓad µaẓeva, 1734.0242; or Meẓad Öamar, 1731.0485) in the Arabah.

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.
