worthlessness, frequently used in the Old Testament as a proper name. It is first used in De 13:13. In the New Testament it is found only in 2Co 6:15, where it is used as a name of Satan, the personification of all that is evil. It is translated "wicked" in De 15:9; Ps 41:8 (R.V. marg.); Ps 101:3; Pr 6:12, etc. The expression "son" or "man of Belial" means simply a worthless, lawless person (Jg 19:22; 20:13; 1Sa 1:16; 2:12).

("worthlessness": or "recklessness, lawlessness".) Not strictly a proper name, but used so by personification. Beli means "without" and ya'al means "usefulness," i.e. "good for nothing". "A man of Belial" is a worthless, lawless fellow (De 13:13; Jg 19:22; 1Sa 2:12). Latterly "Rake" ("vain fellows" (2Sa 6:20, harekim), and "Fool" were used instead: Mt 5:22. Nabal ("fool") is called "man of Belial" (1Sa 25:25.) In the New Testament, "Beliar" is the form in some oldest manuscripts (2Co 6:15.) As Satan is opposed to God, Antichrist to Christ, so Belial standing here in contrast to Christ must denote all anti-Christian pollutions personified.

BELIAL. The phrase, "sons of Belial," signifies wicked, worthless men. It was given to the inhabitants of Gibeah, who abused the Levite's wife, Jg 19:22; and to Hophni and Phineas, the wicked and profane sons of Eli. 1Sa 2:12. In later times the name Belial denoted the devil: "What concord hath Christ with Belial?" 2Co 6:15; for as the word literally imports "one who will do no one good," the positive sense of a doer of evil was applied to Satan, who is the author of evil, and, eminently, "the Evil One."
