(Isa 7:6). SEE TABEIL, 1. Tab’eal (Heb. Tabeel’, [in: pause Tabedl’, , Isa 7:6, A. V. Tabeal’], God is good; Sept. ), the name of two men. SEE TOBIEL.
1. The father of the unnamed person on whom Rezin, king of Syria, and Pekah, king of Israel, proposed to bestow the crown of Judah in case they succeeded in dethroning Ahaz (Isa 7:6). B.C. ante 738. Who Tabeal’s son was is unknown, but it is conjectured that he was some factious and powerful Ephraimite (perhaps Zichri, 2Ch 28:7), who promoted the war in the hope of this result. Kitto. The Aramaic form of the name, SEE TABRIMMON, however, has been thought to favor the supposition that he was a Syrian in the army of Rezin. The Targum of Jonathan renders the name as an appellative, and we will make king in the midst of her him who seems good to us ( ). Rashi by Gematria turns the name into , Rimla, 1,v which apparently he would understand Remaliah.
2. An officer of the Persian government in Samaria in the reign of Artaxerxes (Ezr 4:7). B.C. 519. It has been argued that he, too, was an Aramaean, from the fact that the letter which he and his companions wrote to the king was in the Syrian or Aramaean language. Gesenius, however (Jesa, 1, 280), thinks that he may have been a Samaritan.

Hebrew. A Syrian-like name. The scheme of Rezin of Syria and Pekah of Israel was to set up Tabeal’s son as a vassal king instead of Ahaz, in Judah. A party in Jerusalem (Isa 7:5-6; Isa 8:6; Isa 8:9; Isa 8:12) favored the project.

Tabeal
Tabe’al. (God is good). The son of Tabeal was, apparently, an Ephraimite, in the army of Pekah, the son of Remaliah, or a Syrian, in the army of Rezin, when they went up to besiege Jerusalem, in the reign of Ahaz. Isa 7:6. The Aramaic form of the name favors the latter supposition. (B.C. before 738).
