---excerpt from the Illustrated Bible Dictionary

Beelzebub - (Gr. form Beelzebul ), the name given to Satan, and found only in the New Testament (Matthew 10:25; Matthew 12:24, Matthew 12:27; Mark 3:22). It is probably the same as Baalzebub (q.v.), the god of Ekron, meaning "the lord of flies," or, as others think, "the lord of dung," or "the dung-god."
