First, in plain English
Dan was given this town, and Solomon later fortified it as one of his store cities. The name means mistress or lady.
Who this is
Baalath was a town assigned to the tribe of Dan (Joshua 19:44) that Solomon later fortified along with other store cities as part of his building program (1 Kings 9:18; 2 Chronicles 8:6). Its name, meaning mistress or lady, reflects Canaanite goddess worship connected to the site before Israel's conquest. Its exact location is uncertain, though it lay somewhere in the Shephelah near Gezer.
