Why would it be? Zebulun and Iyzebel (Jezebel) are probably both derived
from Zebul, but Eshbaal, the son of Saul whom the book of Samuel calls
Ishboshet, probably means "Man of Baal" - "Baal" in this case referring not
to the Canaanite deity but to YHWH. Nowhere in the Bible are Saul and his
family accused of idolatry.
