Beeliada (personal name: 'Baal knows,' original name of David's son, later changed to Eliada)
This theophoric name meaning 'Baal knows' was originally given to one of David's sons born in Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 14:7). The name was later changed to Eliada ('God knows') in 2 Samuel 5:16, substituting El for Baal to remove the pagan deity's name. This name change reflects growing sensitivity about using 'Baal' in Israelite names.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Personal name of David's son in 1 Chronicles 14:7, representing the original form before religious revision. The conjunction 'and Beeliada' lists him among David's Jerusalem-born children. The name's Baal element, acceptable in early Israel, was later deemed problematic, leading to the substitution preserved in Samuel's parallel account. 1×
