and adversary of God; tempter of mankind; master of Hell
[syn: Satan, Old Nick, Devil, the Devil, Lucifer,
the Tempter, Prince of Darkness]
Beelzebub
(Gr. form Beel'zebul), the name given to Satan, and found only
in the New Testament (Matt. 10:25; 12:24, 27; Mark 3:22). It is
probably the same as Baalzebub (q.v.), the god of Ekron, meaning
"the lord of flies," or, as others think, "the lord of dung," or
"the dung-god."
