Ethbaal:
toward the idol, or with Baal
Ethbaal:
eth-ba'-al, eth'-ba-al ('ethbaal, "with Baal"): "King of the Sidonians," and father of Jezebel whom Ahab king of Israel took to wife (1Ki 16:31).
Ethbaal:
(with Baal) king of Sidon and father of Jezebel (1 Kings 16:31). Josephus represents him as a king of the Tyrians as well as of the Sidonians. We may thus identify him with Eithobalus, who, after having assassinated Pheles, usurped the throne of Tyre for thirty‐two years. The date of Ethbaal's reign may be given as about B.C. 940‐908.
