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.
