Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Baal-Hamon, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: Baal-Hamon is a proper noun used to refer to a specific location mentioned in the Bible.

Context: Baal-Hamon is referenced in the Song of Solomon 8:11, where it is described as a place where King Solomon had a vineyard. The passage suggests that this location was known for its abundance and productivity, fitting the meaning of its name. The vineyard at Baal-Hamon was leased out to tenants, who were expected to bring a portion of the produce as payment. This reflects the economic practices of the time, where landowners would lease their land to farmers. The exact geographical location of Baal-Hamon is not definitively known, but it is thought to have been a place of great fertility and wealth, possibly located in the northern part of ancient Israel. The mention of Baal-Hamon in the Song of Solomon serves as a metaphor for the richness and beauty of love, drawing a parallel between the fruitful vineyard and the flourishing relationship described in the text.
