Definition
In Christian and Jewish tradition, a name for the devil or a high-ranking demon, often called the 'lord of the flies.'
Etymology
From Hebrew 'Ba'al Zvuv' meaning 'lord of the flies,' possibly a deliberate corruption of 'Ba'al Zvul' (lord of the high place), a Philistine god. The name was transformed from a pagan deity into a demonic figure.
Kelly Says
The transformation of Beelzebub from a respected Philistine god to Satan himself illustrates how conquering religions often demonize the deities of defeated peoples - yesterday's god becomes tomorrow's devil through the lens of religious conflict.
