Ba'alis, King of Ammon
After conquering Jerusalem, the Babylonians made Gedaliah, a member of a prominent Jerusalem family, governor of Judah. But he was soon murdered, an event still commemorated in Jewish tradition as one of the four major fasts mentioned in Zechariah 8:19. The assassin was sent by Ba'alis, King of the Ammonites.
Jeremiah 40:13-14…and all the commanders of the armies in the field came to Gedaliah at Mizpah and said to him, "Are you aware that Baalis king of the Ammonites has sent Ishmael son of Nethaniah to take your life?"
Ba'alis's seal is made of brown agate with a white band that reads:“[Belonging to] Ba‘alis.” The word “king” flanks the winged sphinx at the center, while the bottom line contains the partial phrase “Sons of Ammon.”
