---excerpt from the Illustrated Bible Dictionary

Halak - Smooth; bald, a hill at the southern extremity of Canaan (Joshua 11:17). It is referred to as if it were a land-mark 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.
