Ish-Bosheth ('man of shame'); son of Saul who ruled Israel briefly in rivalry with David.
A proper name meaning 'man of shame,' borne by the surviving son of King Saul who was proclaimed king over Israel's northern tribes after his father's death at Gilboa (2 Sam 2:8–10). The name is widely understood as a scribal substitution: the original form was likely Ish-Baal ('man of Baal'), preserved in 1 Chronicles 8:33 and 9:39 as Eshbaal, with bosheth ('shame') replacing the theophoric element baal. His brief, contested reign and assassination (2 Sam 4) cleared the way for David's united monarchy.

1. Ish-Bosheth (proper name) — The proper masculine name Ish-Bosheth, referring exclusively to Saul's son who reigned over Israel in opposition to David (2 Samuel 2–4). The name's components—ish ('man') and bosheth ('shame')—represent a theological emendation of the original Ish-Baal, as confirmed by the Chronicler's parallel Eshbaal (1 Chr 8:33; 9:39). All 22 occurrences cluster in 2 Samuel 2–4, narrating his installation as king, his conflict with David, and his murder by his own officers. 22×
