Belial. [Be'lial]

The Hebrew word signifies 'worthless, lawless,' and is not a proper name, but is used as a personification of evil; thus we have 'son of Belial, daughter of Belial,' etc. Deuteronomy 13:13; Judges 19:22; 1 Samuel 1:1; 1 Samuel 1:25, 1 Samuel 1:25; etc. In the N.T. it is put in contradistinction to Christ as if it meant Satan, 2 Corinthians 6:15: it is there beliar.
