Meaning and etymology of the name Bealiah




Bealiah Bealiah


The only Bealiah mentioned in the Bible is one of the valiant men of war who join David at Ziklag (1 Chronicles 12:5). Whatever became of Bealiah is not known, as he isn't heard from in other Scriptures.

The name Bealiah consists of two common elements. The first part is identical to the name Baal, and that names comes from the common Hebrew

The second part of the name Bealiah is Jah, Jah, which in turn is an abbreviated form of the Tetragrammaton; the name of the Lord: YHWH.

For a meaning of the name Bealiah, NOBS Study Bible Name List reads Yahweh Is Lord and BDB Theological Dictionary proposes the similar Yah Is Lord. Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names goes with a more literal interpretation and reads Possession Of The Lord.
