<p> [some Esh-ba'al] (Hebrew Esba'al, | <p> [some Esh-ba'al] (Hebrew Esba'al, אֶשְׁבִּעִל , in pause אֶשְׁבָּעִל, man of Baal; Sept. Ἀσαβάλ v.r. Ι᾿εβάλ and Βαάλ, Vulg. Esbaal), the appropriate name of the fourth son of king Saul, according to the genealogy of 1 Chronicles 8:33; 1 Chronicles 9:39. He is doubtless the same person (see 1 Samuel 31:2, compared with 2 Samuel 2:8) as ISH-BOSHETH (See [[Ish-Bosheth]]) (q..v.), since it was the practice to change the obnoxious name of [[Baal]] into Bosheth or Besheth, as in the case of Jerub-besheth for Jerub-baal, and (in this very genealogy) of Merib-baal for Mephi-bosheth: compare also Hosea 9:10, where Bosheth (A.V. "shame") appears to be used as a synonym for Baal. (See [[Baal]]). </p> | ||
