Ish-bosheth was one of Saul’s sons. His name translated means Man of Shame.
Elsewhere he is called Ish-baal, Man of Baal
(1 Chronicles 8:33; 1 Chronicles 9:39).1 Scribal tradition often substituted the word bosheth, shame,
for the hated name of the Canaanite god Baal (see Jeremiah 3:24; Jeremiah 11:13; Hosea 9:10).2
