Eshba’l or Eshbaal or Ishbaal. It means that someone in the same
time as Ishbaal of Saul had the same name Ishbaal and that it was fashionable
to name their children at that time this way since this piece of pottery dates
to the same time, 1060 BCE.
Notice:
1. The name is correlative in
time to the biblical name.
2. Writing was employed in
Israel in 1060 BCE.
3. A biblical name is found
in 1060 BCE in Israel.
4. The orthography of “word-dividers”
was a vertical line instead of a dot on this piece of pottery.
5. Writing was strongly
related to ancient Phoenician and one can recognize the correlations.
6. Our Bible is not just Jewish
propaganda concocted by Jews to frame Canaanites and legitimize Palestine as
their territory. It is historical.
