123. 1. He was an Israelite prophet from the descendants of Harun (Aaron) ؑ. The region to which he was sent was called Baalbek; some say the name of the place was Samaria, which is the western central region of Palestine. The people here were worshippers of an idol named Baal (some say this was the name of a goddess).
