2382 Hadad of Damascus ENT_ARA_HADAD_DAMASCUS reception_of Baal Hadad ENT_CAN_BAAL high Aramean Hadad of Damascus is the direct continuation of the Canaanite Baal Hadad tradition — the same deity name (Hadad is the proper name of Canaanite Baal) carried forward into the Iron Age Aramean states. The theonym Hadad (Aramaic hdd, "thunderer") directly corresponds to Ugaritic Haddu, the personal name of Baal. The transition from Bronze Age Canaanite cult to Iron Age Aramean state cult represents a reception: the same storm deity, reorganized as the national patron of the Aramean kingdom of Damascus, receiving royal inscriptions and military victory dedications in Aramaic rather than Ugaritic.

2383 Hadad of Damascus ENT_ARA_HADAD_DAMASCUS patron_of Storm ENT_STORM high Hadad of Damascus is explicitly the storm deity of the Aramean kingdom — the Aramaic name "Hadad" means "thunderer," and his function in inscriptions and the OT accounts of the Damascene kings is consistently as the storm god who gives rain and grants military victory. The Melqart stele inscription invokes Hadad's divine favor; the royal epithets Ben-Hadad ("son of Hadad") and Hadadezer ("Hadad is my help") confirm his storm-patronage as the basis of royal legitimacy.
