		8:33, Saul's youngest son is referred to as Esh-Baal, meaning "Man of Baal," perhaps demonstrating Saul's apostasy from God, though Baal, meaning "Lord" or "Master," could sometimes refer to the true God.
		Notice, however, that this son of Saul is referred to in 2 Samuel and elsewhere as Ishbosheth, which is probably a euphemistic reference by the biblical writers as it means "Man of Shame."
		Also note that in 8:34 and 9:40, Jonathan's son is Meribbaal, possibly meaning "Opponent of Baal," "Loved by Baal" or "Baal Is My Advocate." As Jonathan was apparently faithful to God, the first meaning here seems likely, though again it may be that the name Baal here is used for the true Lord.
