How many variations of Baalim were worshipped by the biblical Canaanites?

In the Old Testament, there were examples several different “Baalim” (Lords) that were worshipped by the Canaanites. Baal was a storm/fertility god that was worshipped notably in the land of Canaan (Numbers 22:41). Baal-Peor was a similar deity that was worshipped in the area corresponding to Mount Peor in Gilead (Numbers 25:3). Baal-ze-bub was a Baal that was worshipped in the area corresponding to Ekron, which was a city that was inhabited by the Philistines (2 Kings 1:2). There were statues, temples, and groves erected to Baal by the Canaanites throughout the narrative of the Old Testament. Often times, the Israelites, enamored with the idea of worshipping a god that they could physically see, would adopt Canaanite religious ordinances and systems of worship, and begin worshipping these deities themselves.

Much of the narrative of the Old Testament, in fact, was preoccupied with stories concerning the oral and written law of Moses to the Israelites, the establishment of Israel as a kingdom, their battles with neighboring Levantine kingdoms, the Israelites’ tendency to worship Baalim, the prophets’ condemnations and warnings against this “idol worship,” and God’s various political remedies for this idolatrous “whoredom”.
