  • Ish-bosheth (אִֽישְׁבֹּ֫שֶׁת; Standard: Ishbóshet; Tiberian: ʼΚbṓšeṯ) also called Eshbaal (אֶשְׁבַּ֫עַל; Standard: Eshbáʻal; Tiberian: ʼEšbáʻal), Ashbaal or Ishbaal, appears in the Hebrew Bible. He was born in c. 1047 BC and was one of the four sons of King Saul with Ahinoam, daughter of Ahimaaz. Ish-bosheth was chosen as the second king over the Kingdom of Israel, which then consisted of all the twelve tribes of the Israelites, after the death of his father and three brothers at the Battle of Mount Gilboa.
  • Ish-Bosheth was a son of Saul who was placed as ruler over Israel after the death of Saul and Jonathan at the Battle of Mount Gilboa as told in the book of II Samuel in the Bible. Ish-Bosheth was 40 years old when his reign began, but he inherited a conflict with David, who had been growing in power, over the throne. Ish-Bosheth made the mistake of accusing the leader of his forces, Abner, with sleeping with one of his concubines. Abner was insulted and switched sides to support David. Two opportunists realized that Ish-Bosheth had lost power and stabbed him while he was sleeping and cut off his head. They expected David to reward them, but he had them killed instead for rising against their king. ((II Samuel 2:8 - 4:12)
  • Ish-bosheth was the second king of Bnei Yisrael, and was the son of Saul. However, he is not considered an official king. Before he was king, he learned Torah all day. Ish-bosheth ruled over eleven tribes, because Judah accepted David, and not him, as their king.
