Usage: Gur-Baal is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a location.

Context: Gur-Baal is mentioned in the context of King Uzziah's reign in the Old Testament. It is identified as a place where the Arabians lived, who were defeated by Uzziah. The reference to Gur-Baal is found in 2 Chronicles 26:7, which states: "God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabs who lived in Gur-Baal, and against the Meunites." This location is associated with the Arab tribes and is indicative of the geopolitical landscape during Uzziah's time. The exact location of Gur-Baal is not definitively known, but it is thought to be in the region of Arabia, possibly near the border of Edom. The name itself suggests a place where the worship of Baal might have been prevalent, reflecting the syncretistic religious practices of the surrounding nations.
