34. Merib-baal ] A name meaning “Baal pleadeth”; in ch. 1Ch 9:40 b (Heb.) it is written Meri-baal, i.e. “Man of Baal.” The person meant seems to be Mephibosheth (2Sa 9:6; 2Sa 9:12).

Verse 34. Merib-baal] The same as Mephibosheth, for, as the Israelites detested Baal, which signifies lord, they changed it into bosheth, which signifies shame or reproach.

Merib-baal. Another name by which Mephi-bosheth was known. Compare 2Sa 2:8; 2Sa 4:4. See note on 1Ch 8:33 above. The addition “bosheth” (= shame) came to be substituted for “Baal” as the latter word became associated with idolatry. Compare Jdg 6:32 with 2Sa 11:21.
