New page

'''Labal''' (Hebrew: לבל, ''LBL''), also spelled '''Lebal''' or '''Bebal''' is a [[demon]] who accompanies the [[Goetic demon]] [[Paimon]].

==Name==
In the original Latin texts mentioning Labal's name, it is spelled as ''Bebal''. Subsequent translations rendered it Bébal, Beball, Labal, or Lebel.

According to author Brian Pivik, the demon's name should be rendered in Hebrew as לבל.

Although the origin of Lebal is presently unknown, it may be connected with the demon [[Bael]] or the various Canaanite gods using similar names such as [[Beelzebub]]. In French, the name would literally mean "The Bal."

==Textual history==
The demon is only mentioned in [[grimoire]]s in conjunction with Paimon and was never written about as an individual.

It first appears as ''Bebal'' in [[Johann Weyer]]'s ''[[Pseudomonarchia Daemonum]]'' (1577). The same passage explaining Paimon's abilities in the ''[[Lesser Key of Solomon]]'' subsequently referenced the same demon as Labal.

Finally, ''[[The Infernal Dictionary]]'' spells the name as Bébal.

==Abilities==
In the [[hierarchy of Hell]], Labal is a Great Prince or a King. He accompanies [[Paimon]], but only comes when an offering is made specifically to Paimon with no other [[demon]]s included.

Labal is part of Paimon's 25 legions and presumably leads one of those legions, along with his partner [[Abalam]].
