OK, I spelt it a bit wrong...BeelzebubAlso known as Beelzebuth, Belzebuth, Baalzebub, Ba'al-zebub (and known as Achor by the Cyreneans), which probably meant 'Lord of the High House', referring to the Canaanite chief god 'Baal the prince'. This title could only properly apply to Solomon in his temple, so the Jews changed the name to Beelzebub which translates as 'Lord of Flies', probably because of his supposedly role as creator and controller of the flies in the Philistine city of Ekron.
One of the oldest and most famous demonic figures, Beelzebub also had command over disease (flies congregate around the corpses of the dead, and spread disease from the dead to the living) and his role is to tempt men with pride.
Beelzebub came to be regarded as the leading representative of the fallen gods, referred to as the Devil himself; in Matthew, 12, 24, he is mentioned as 'Prince of the Devils' and this appellation has stuck, even though Milton has him next in rank to Satan (Paradise Lost, I, 79).
