baalgad - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Baal-gad
  lord of fortune, or troop of Baal, a Canaanite city in the
  valley of Lebanon at the foot of Hermon, hence called
  Baal-hermon (Judge. 3:3; 1 Chr. 5:23), near the source of the
  Jordan (Josh. 13:5; 11:17; 12:7). It was the most northern point
  to which Joshua's conquests extended. It probably derived its
  name from the worship of Baal. Its modern representative is
  Banias. Some have supposed it to be the same as Baalbec.
