Strong's Lexicon Ethbaal: Ethbaal Original Word: אֶתְבַּעַל Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: אֵת (eth, meaning "with" or "near") and בַּעַל (Baal, a Canaanite deity). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Ethbaal in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew text. Usage: Ethbaal is a proper noun used to refer to a specific historical figure, the king of Sidon. The name Ethbaal can be understood to mean "with Baal" or "Baal is with him," reflecting the cultural and religious context of the time, where Baal was a prominent deity in the Canaanite pantheon. Cultural and Historical Background: Ethbaal was a king of Sidon, a prominent city in ancient Phoenicia, during the 9th century BC. He is notably recognized as the father of Jezebel, who became the wife of King Ahab of Israel. Ethbaal's reign is marked by the strong influence of Phoenician culture and religion, particularly the worship of Baal, which Jezebel later introduced into Israel, leading to significant religious and political conflicts.
