Riga 27:

Poiché più di un dio portava il titolo di "Ba'al" e più di una dea quello di "Ba'alat" o "Ba'alah", solo il contesto di un testo può indicare con esattezza di quale "Signore" Ba'al o "Signora" Ba'alath si parli in un particolare testo o iscrizione.

It is said that [[Baal Peor|Ba’al Pe’or]], the Lord of Mount Pe’or, whom Israelites were forbidden from worshipping ([[Numbers]] 1&ndash;25) was also Hadad.

[[Melqart]], the god of [[Tyre (Lebanon)|Tyre]], was often called the Ba’al of [[Tyre (Lebanon)|Tyre]]. [[1 Kings]] 16.31 relates that [[Ahab]], king of [[Israel]], married [[Jezebel (biblical)|Jezebel]], daughter of [[Ithobaal I|Ethba’al]], king of the [[Sidon]]ians, and then served ''habba’al'' ('the Ba’al'.) The [[cult]] of this god was prominent in Israel until the reign of [[Jehu]], who put an end to it ([[2 Kings]] 10.26):
