Ṣil-Bel (Philistine: 𐤑𐤋𐤁𐤏𐤋* *Ṣīlbaʿl, probably "(in the) shadow/protection of Baal", cf. Bezalel; Akkadian: 𒉣𒂗 ṣil-bēl) or Ṣilli-Bel (Akkadian: 𒄑𒈪𒂗) was a Philistine king of Gaza during the 7th century BCE. He is mentioned in the annals of Ashurbanipal and Esarhaddon as one of many kings under Neo-Assyrian suzerainty. During the reign of Sennacherib, Hezekiah of Judah revolted against Assyrian rule, and was ultimately defeated. According to Sennacherib's Annals, Sil-Bel, along with his fellow Philistine kings, Mitinti of Ashdod and Padi of Ekron, were given several fortified Judean cities that Sennacherib had conquered during his campaign.
