<div> '''1: '''''Βελίαλ''''' ''' (Strong'S #955 | <div> '''1: '''''Βελίαλ''''' ''' (Strong'S #955 — Noun Masculine — belial — bel-ee'-al ) </div> <p> is a word frequently used in the Old Testament, with various meanings, especially in the books of Samuel, where it is found nine times. See also Deuteronomy 13:13; Judges 19:22; 20:13; 1—Kings 21:10,13; 2—Chronicles 13:7 . Its original meaning was either "worthlessness" or "hopeless ruin" (see the Rv , margin). It also had the meanings of "extreme wickedness and destruction," the latter indicating the destiny of the former. In the period between the OT and the NT it came to be a proper name for Satan. There may be an indication of this in Nahum 1:15 , where the word translated "the wicked one" is Belial. </p> 2—Corinthians 6:15 | ||
