Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root words בַּעַל (ba'al, meaning "lord" or "master") and אֲדָן (adan, meaning "man" or "lord"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Baladan, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and context. However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates the name as Βαλαδάν (Baladan) in the corresponding passages. Usage: Baladan is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as a personal name. Context: Baladan is mentioned in the context of the Assyrian and Babylonian political landscape during the reign of Hezekiah, king of Judah. He is identified as the father of Merodach-Baladan, a king of Babylon. The name appears in the historical narrative concerning the interactions between Judah and Babylon. In 2 Kings 20:12 and Isaiah 39:1, Baladan is referenced in relation to Merodach-Baladan's diplomatic engagement with Hezekiah. The passages describe how Merodach-Baladan, son of Baladan, sent envoys with letters and a gift to Hezekiah after hearing of his illness and recovery. This event is significant as it marks the beginning of Babylonian interest in the affairs of Judah, which would later culminate in the Babylonian exile.
