Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Beon, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a location not directly mentioned in the Greek New Testament.

Usage: Beon is mentioned in the context of a geographical location in the Hebrew Bible. It is associated with the territory of the tribe of Reuben.

Context: Beon is a city mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Numbers. It is identified as one of the cities in the territory allotted to the tribe of Reuben. The city is referenced in Numbers 32:3, where the Reubenites and Gadites express their desire to settle in the land of Gilead, which includes Beon, due to its suitability for livestock. The passage reads: "Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon." This list of cities highlights the fertile and desirable nature of the region for pastoral activities.

Beon is also known by the name Baal-meon, as seen in other biblical references, indicating a possible dual naming or renaming of the city over time. The city is part of the Transjordan region, east of the Jordan River, which was conquered by the Israelites under Moses' leadership before the crossing into the Promised Land.

The historical and geographical significance of Beon lies in its location within the tribal lands of Reuben, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The city, along with others in the region, played a role in the settlement patterns of the Israelites as they established themselves in the land promised to them by God.
