Baalzebub
VIEW:14 DATA:01-04-2020
lord of the flies
(same as Beelzebub)
Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary
Worshipped at Ekron; consulted by Ahaziah as to his recovery, for which Jehovah by Elijah declared he should die (2Ki_1:2-3; 2Ki_1:16). "Lord of flies," i.e., averter of the plague of flies, which often caused such ravages. A seal found near Gaza by DeHass represents a human figure with four wings like those of a fly, in low relief, probably the god of Ekron. Beelzebul was the Jewish contemptuous term, by a slight alteration, for Beelzebub; i.e., "god of dung". (See BEELZEBUL.)
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.
bā-al-zē?bub בּעל זבוּב, ba‛al zebhūbh = ?Lord of flies?; Βααλ-μυιαν, Βάαλ-μυῖαν, Báal-muı́aň: A deity worshipped by the Philistines at Ekron (2Ki_1:2, 2Ki_1:3, 2Ki_1:6, 2Ki_1:16). All that can be gathered from this one reference to him in ancient literature is that he had some fame as a god that gave oracles. Ahaziah, son of Ahab, and king of Israel, went to consult him whether he should recover of his sickness, and was therefore rebuked by Elijah, who declared that his death would be the result of this insult to Yahweh. Why he was called ?lord of flies,? or whether his real name has not be en corrupted and lost are matters of conjecture. See BAAL, (1).
