In (2 Kings 1): "When Ahaziah fell through the lattice in his upper chamber which [was] in Samaria, and became ill, he sent messengers to inquire of the god of Ekron, whether I will recover from this sickness." Can anyone familiar with the Hebrew tell us whether the deity of Ekron is given a gender in the Hebrew text that is rendered "god"? -- Wetman 00:12, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
In the Hebrew version of the bible the name of the god is Baal-Zebub, which may be a variant of the known Canaanite god Baal Zabbul. It is refered in the text as a male god. Marom 16:57, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I removed the inaccurate reference to Akron, Ohio. Mormonchess 17:37, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
How did the town of Ekron, Kentucky get its name?

I have not reverted the wholesale changing of BC to BCE on the article [1], but I have removed notices on the article and talk page that seem to be made to ward off other editors from doing so. For one thing, the BC/BCE issue is not yet fully resolved, but the original creation of this article [2] used both conventions (compare 712 BCE / 603BC) and the article did not have a totally consistent convention for almost a year [3] (at which time it went to BC, where it stayed until changed, almost two and a half years later)
Additionally, there is no consensus that the original author's convention must or should be used, most editors in fact dont seem to support this. (See for example [4]) Brando130 22:24, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
