 The component Baal in proper names is mostly applied to worshippers of Baal, or descendants of the worshippers of Baal.Names including the element Baʿal presumably in reference to Yahweh include the judge Gideon (also known as Jerubaʿal,  "The Lord Strives"), Saul's son Eshbaʿal ("The Lord is Great"), and David's son Beeliada ("The Lord Knows").The name Bealiah ("The Lord is Jah"; "Yahweh is Baʿal") combined the two.
