BAAL-GAD (? ‘Baal of fortune’). A place under Hermon, in the valley of Lebanon, referred to only as the northern limit of the country conquered by Joshua ( Joshua 11:17; Joshua 12:7; Joshua 13:5 ). Various identifications have been suggested, all uncertain. Perhaps Banias is the most probable. See Cæsarea Philippi.
