Beel-zebub

BEEL-ZEBUB - "Lord of the fly", an Oriental fly-destroying god. In very hot countries, swarms of flies are often a terrible nuisance. The name also refers to Satan because, Baal-zebub, means "the restless Lord". In Job, it is said of Satan that he, "goeth to and fro in the earth, and walketh up and down it..." The word zebub when referring to a fly comes from a Arabic root, which signifies "to move from place to place, like flies, without settling". Hence the secret meaning of Baal-zebub "Lord of restless and unsettled motion."
