Abezi-Thibod

Abezi-Thibod - In early Jewish lore, Abezi-Thibod is another name for Samel, Mastema, Uzza and other chief devils.  He is a powerful spirit who fought Moses in Egypt, hardened Pharaoh's heart and assisted Pharaoh's magicians.  He was drowned (with Rehab, q.v.) in the Red (i.e. Reed) Sea.  With Rehab, he shares the princedom over Egypt.  In The Testament of Solomon (Jewish Quarterly Review, London, 1889, XI), Abezi is the son of Beelzeboul (Beelzebub) and the demon of the Red Sea:  "I am a descendant of the archangel," he declares.
