Baal-tamar, "lord of the palm tree," was a site near Gibeah in Benjamin's territory where the other Israelite tribes regrouped for their final assault against Benjamin during the civil war sparked by the outrage at Gibeah (Judges 20:33). The name likely refers to a Baal shrine marked by a notable palm tree, possibly the same palm associated with the judge Deborah a few chapters earlier (Judges 4:5). Its exact site has not been identified.
