Elibaal

r. c. 900 BCE · 10th century BCE

Elibaal was a king of Byblos around 900 BCE. He is known from a Phoenician inscription on a statue of the pharaoh Osorkon I, now in the Louvre, which he dedicated to the Baalat Gebal, the goddess of Byblos. With the similar dedication by Abibaal on a statue of Shoshenq I, it attests to renewed relations between Byblos and Egypt's Twenty-second Dynasty.
