==Description==
He followed [[Beelzebub]] upon his fall from heaven, and became an important demon in [[Hell]]. However, after his treason, he is left with one red wing. He later travelled to Egypt where he hardened the heart of Pharaoh and his advisors, and convinced them to pursue the fleeing Israelite slaves.

The ''Testament of Solomon'' states that Jannes and Jambres called upon Abezethibou when they battled against Moses, and the demon provided them with the [[ritual magic|magic]] they used. He claimed to be "the adversary of Moses in [performing] signs and wonders." Abezethibou was sealed in the Red Sea, but Beelzebub claimed that "when he [Abezethibou] is ready, then he will come in triumph."
