From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Sermon on the mount       After spending a night in solemn meditation and prayer in the       lonely mountain-range to the west of the Lake of Galilee (Luke       6:12), on the following morning our Lord called to him his       disciples, and from among them chose twelve, who were to be       henceforth trained to be his apostles (Mark 3:14, 15). After       this solemn consecration of the twelve, he descended from the       mountain-peak to a more level spot (Luke 6:17), and there he sat       down and delivered the "sermon on the mount" (Matt. 5-7; Luke       6:20-49) to the assembled multitude. The mountain here spoken of       was probably that known by the name of the "Horns of Hattin"       (Kurun Hattin), a ridge running east and west, not far from       Capernaum. It was afterwards called the "Mount of Beatitudes."
