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.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>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.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/854.htm">eth</a> and <a href="/hebrew/1168.htm">Baal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"with Baal," a king of Sidon<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Ethbaal (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אֶתְבַּ֫עַל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>Ethbaal</b></font> (<em>with Baal</em>, i.e. living under Baal's favour; <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ἰθόβαλος</font>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Εἰθώβαλος</font> Jos<sup>Ant. viii. 13</sup>, 1. 2, c.
