Topical Lexicon Word Origin: The name Baalis is of uncertain origin, but it is likely derived from a combination of the root word בַּעַל (Baal), meaning "lord" or "master," and an unknown element.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Baalis, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. Usage: The name Baalis appears in the Hebrew Bible in the context of the political and military events following the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians. It is specifically mentioned in the Book of Jeremiah. Context: Baalis was the king of the Ammonites during the time of the prophet Jeremiah. He is mentioned in Jeremiah 40:14, where it is reported that Baalis sent Ishmael son of Nethaniah to assassinate Gedaliah, the governor appointed by the Babylonians over the remnant of Judah. This act was part of the political intrigue and instability that characterized the region following the Babylonian conquest. The Ammonites, under Baalis, were likely seeking to exploit the power vacuum and assert their influence over the weakened Judah. The assassination of Gedaliah led to further chaos and the eventual flight of the remaining Judeans to Egypt, as recorded in the subsequent chapters of Jeremiah.
