He succeeded his brother in [1186/88] as Lord of Rama and Mirabel, but these territories, as well as the castle of Ibelin, were conquered in 1187 by Saladin after the battle of Hattin. He went to Jerusalem from Tyre and made preparations to secure it against Saladin's attack but the city fell 2 Oct 1187. Saladin installed him as Lord of Caymont and Carmel. He was a strong supporter of Corrado di Monferrato against Guy de Lusignan, and a leading proponent of Corrado's marriage to Isabelle of Jerusalem.

Balian of Ibelin & his wife had five children (as the castle of Ibelin was lost to the family in 1187, the descendants of Balian of Ibelin are referred to as "Ibelin" rather than "of Ibelin").
