Tabeal

　　Ta´beal (God is good), father of the unnamed person on whom Rezin, king of Syria, and Pekah, king of Israel, proposed to bestow the crown of; Judah in case they succeeded in dethroning Ahaz (). Who 'Tabeal's son' was is unknown, but it is conjectured that he was some factious and powerful Ephraimite (perhaps Zichri, ), who promoted the war in the hope of this result.
