Merib-Baal
mer-ib-baal (, merbhbaal; also , mer-bhaal, Baal contends): The spelling varies in a single verse; 1Ch 9:40 contains the name twice: first, in the first form above; second, in the second form. The name is given also in 1Ch 8:34. It is the other name of MEPHIBOSHETH (2) (which see).
In Jer 11:13 and Hos 9:10 the terms Baal and Bosheth seem to stand in apposition, the latter form being a slightly contemptuous alternative rendered shame. This is akin to other like changes, such as Esh-baal for Ish-bosheth, Jerub-besheth for Jerub-baal, etc. The change in the first part of the name could occur through a clerical confusion of the Hebrew aspirate pe (p) and resh (r) in Hebrew.
