Baalath
ba.a.lat is a proper name used for a place listed among towns and said to have been built.

All three occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In Joshua 19:44 the APB renders a list including “Eltekeh and Gibbethon and Baalath,” while in 1 Kings 9:18 and 2 Chronicles 8:6 it renders Baalath among places that he built.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term unchanged as “Baalath” in each verse: in a town list in Joshua 19:44 and in building statements in 1 Kings 9:18 and 2 Chronicles 8:6. This reflects the verse-level presentation rather than a separate lexical rendering.
