Baal is briefly mentioned in1 Chronicles 5:5as part of the genealogy of the tribe of Reuben. He is described as the son of Reaiah, who was the son of Micah, who was the son of Shimei. This lineage traces Baal's ancestry back to Reuben, the firstborn son of Israel (or 'Jacob'). The genealogy is given in the context of describing the clans and leaders of Reuben, suggesting that Baal and his family were part of this tribe.
