Zakar-baal

Zakar-Baal

Zakar-Baal (also known as Zeker-Baal or Zeker-Ba'al) was the king of Byblos (or Gebal or Jbeil), a Phoenician city on coast of Lebanon, during the 11th century BCE. His reign was contemporary with pharaoh Ramesses XI of Egypt (1099-1069 BCE). As he is a character in the Story of Wenamun, an Egyptian work of historical fiction, it is not entirely certain if Zakar-Baal was a historical personage.
