Zebul

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zebul (ze´bel) ("habitation"), ruler of Shechem under Abimelech

He informed his master of the intention of the people of Shechem to transfer their allegiance to the Hivite tribe of Hamor. This led to Abimelech's destroying the city, when he put its entire population to the sword, and sowed the ruins with salt.

Zebul is also the name of the sixth of the seven heavens in Kabbalah Jewish mysticism.
