Ezekiel 25:9

(house of Baal-meon), a place in the possessions of Reuben, on the downs (Authorized Version “plain”) east of the Jordan (Joshua 13:17). At the Israelites’ first approach its name was Baal-Meon (Numbers 32:38) or, in its contracted form, Beon (Numbers 32:3) to which the Beth was possibly a Hebrew addition. Later it would seem to have come into possession of Moab, and to be known either as Beth-meon (Jeremiah 48:23) or Baal-meon (Ezekiel 25:9). The name is still attached to a ruined place of considerable size a short distance to the southwest of Hesban, and bearing the name of “the fortress of Mi’un, ” or Makin.
