Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from אִישׁ (ish, meaning "man") and בּשֶׁת (bosheth, meaning "shame").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Ish-Bosheth, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not appear in the Greek New Testament. Usage: Ish-Bosheth is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers specifically to the son of King Saul who became king over Israel for a brief period. Context: Ish-Bosheth, also known as Eshbaal (1 Chronicles 8:33; 9:39), was the son of King Saul and became the king of Israel after Saul's death. His reign is recorded in 2 Samuel 2-4. Following the death of Saul and his brothers in battle against the Philistines, Abner, the commander of Saul's army, made Ish-Bosheth king over Israel, except for the tribe of Judah, which followed David. Ish-Bosheth reigned for two years, during which time there was ongoing conflict between his forces and those of David. His rule was marked by political instability and was largely dependent on Abner's support. The turning point in his reign came when Abner defected to David's side after a falling out with Ish-Bosheth. Without Abner's support, Ish-Bosheth's position weakened significantly. He was eventually assassinated by two of his own captains, Rechab and Baanah, who sought favor with David by bringing him Ish-Bosheth's head. However, David condemned their actions and had them executed, demonstrating his disapproval of treachery and murder. Ish-Bosheth's death paved the way for David to become king over all Israel, uniting the tribes under his leadership.
