Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)
Smooth; bald, a hill at the southern extremity of Canaan (Josh. 11:17). It is referred to as if it were a landmark in that direction, being prominent and conspicuous from a distance. It has by some been identified with the modern Jebel el-Madura, on the south frontier of Judah, between the south end of the Dead Sea and the Wady Gaian.
Smith's Bible Dictionary (1863)
(smooth), The mount, a mountain twice, and twice only, named, was the southern limit of Joshua’s conquests, (Joshua 11:17; 12:7) but which has not yet been identified.

HA'LAK, THE MOUNT (the smooth or the bald mountain), the name of a mountain marking the southern limit of Joshua's conquests. Josh 11:17; Acts 12:7. It has been variously identified with the range of hills parallel with Beer-sheba, with the modern Jebel el-Mukrek, 60 miles south of the Dead Sea, and with the range of white hills 8 miles south of the Dead Sea, and which divides the Ghor, to the north, from the Arabah, to the south. HALE means to haul, to drag by force, before magistrates. Luke 12:58; Acts 8:3.
