 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.

From: Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)
