Beelzebub
Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897)
(Gr. form Beel’zebul), the name given to Satan, and found only in the New Testament (Matthew 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.”
