BAAL (2) ba'-al ba`al, "lord," "master," "possessor"): (1) A descendant of Reuben, Jacob's first-born son, and the father of Beerah, prince of the Reubenitcs, "whom Tiglath-pileser (1 Ch 5:5,6) king of Assyria carried away captive." (2) The fourth of ten sons of Jeiel (King James Version "Jehiel"), father and founder of Gibeon. His mother was Maacah; his brother Kish father oś Saul (1 Ch 8:29 f; 9:35,36,39; compare 1 Sam 14:50 f). These passages identify Jeiel and Abiel as the father of Kish and thus of Baal. For study of confusions in the genealogical record, in 1 Ch 9:36,39, see KISH; ABIEL; JEIEL. (3) In composition often the name of a man and not of the heathen god, e.g. Baal-hanan, a king of Edom (Gen 36:38; 1 Ch 1:49); also a royal prefect of the same name (1 Ch 27:28). Gesenius thinks that Baal in compound words rarely refers to the god by that name. See BAAL (deity). (4) A city of the tribe of Simeon (1 Ch 4:33). See BAALATH-BEER. Dwight M. Pratt |
