Ashbel, second son of Benjamin; personal name meaning possibly 'man of Baal' or similar compound
A personal name borne by Benjamin's second son, appearing in genealogical lists across Genesis, Numbers, and Chronicles. The name's etymology remains uncertain—possibly a compound with Baal (Eshbaal) or related to oath-taking. The Septuagint shows variation (Asbel, Asuber, Saba), suggesting scribal uncertainty about the name's pronunciation. Descendants formed one of the Benjamite clans counted in the wilderness census.
