Abstract

The names of Saul’s descendants appear in a different form in the books
of Chronicles (1 Chr 8:33-34; 9:39-40) as compared to those in the books
of Samuel (2 Sam 2-4; 9; 19; 21). In Chronicles the name Eshbaal is used
instead of Ishbosheth, and Meribaal instead of Mephibosheth. This article
describes the differences between these names in the context of early Hebrew
epigraphy. The recalling of the original names of the first Judaean
royal dynasty in the books of Chronicles could be explained not only with
reference to the original version of the books of Samuel, but also from the
oral tradition of Judea or from some documents of the royal archives that
survived the Babylonian conquest.
