Bealiah was a Benjamite among the skilled warriors, expert with bow and sling from both hands, who defected to David at Ziklag while he was still an outlaw fleeing Saul (1 Chronicles 12:1-5). His name, meaning "the Lord is my lord," is notable for using the divine name Yahweh rather than Baal despite superficially resembling a Baal-compound name.
