You probably know this...Godly men often named their children after Baal, a name for God. Baal eventually morphed into a separate entity like Allah, the moon god. The translators of the Bible were concerned about Baal being a separate god and changed the names to “ bosheth” rather than -baal
I don't think there is a single place in the Hebrew Bible where God (i.e., the One True God) is referred to as "ba'al." On the other hand, there is much evidence that Canaanites were worshiping gods called "Ba'al" long before Joshua led the Israelites into Canaan.
