Ahitub       brother of goodness = good. (1.) The son of Phinehas. On the       death of his grandfather Eli he succeeded to the office of high       priest, and was himself succeeded by his son Ahijah (1 Sam.       14:3; 22:9, 11, 12, 20).                (2.) The father of Zadok, who was made high priest by Saul       after the extermination of the family of Ahimelech (1 Chr. 6:7,       8; 2 Sam. 8:17).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Baal-zebub       fly-lord, the god of the Philistines at Ekron (2 Kings 1:2, 3,       16). This name was given to the god because he was supposed to       be able to avert the plague of flies which in that region was to       be feared. He was consulted by Ahaziah as to his recovery.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Beelzebub       (Gr. form Beel'zebul), the name given to Satan, and found only       in the New Testament (Matt. 10:25; 12:24, 27; Mark 3:22). It is       probably the same as Baalzebub (q.v.), the god of Ekron, meaning       "the lord of flies," or, as others think, "the lord of dung," or       "the dung-god."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cherub       plural cherubim, the name of certain symbolical figures       frequently mentioned in Scripture. They are first mentioned in       connection with the expulsion of our first parents from Eden       (Gen. 3:24). There is no intimation given of their shape or       form. They are next mentioned when Moses was commanded to       provide furniture for the tabernacle (Ex. 25:17-20; 26:1, 31).       God promised to commune with Moses "from between the cherubim"       (25:22). This expression was afterwards used to denote the       Divine abode and presence (Num. 7:89; 1 Sam. 4:4; Isa. 37:16;       Ps. 80:1; 99:1). In Ezekiel's vision (10:1-20) they appear as       living creatures supporting the throne of God. From Ezekiel's       description of them (1;10; 41:18, 19), they appear to have been       compound figures, unlike any real object in nature; artificial       images possessing the features and properties of several       animals. Two cherubim were placed on the mercy-seat of the ark;       two of colossal size overshadowed it in Solomon's temple.       Ezekiel (1:4-14) speaks of four; and this number of "living       creatures" is mentioned in Rev. 4:6. Those on the ark are called       the "cherubim of glory" (Heb. 9:5), i.e., of the Shechinah, or       cloud of glory, for on them the visible glory of God rested.       They were placed one at each end of the mercy-seat, with wings       stretched upward, and their faces "toward each other and toward       the mercy-seat." They were anointed with holy oil, like the ark       itself and the other sacred furniture.                The cherubim were symbolical. They were intended to represent       spiritual existences in immediate contact with Jehovah. Some       have regarded them as symbolical of the chief ruling power by       which God carries on his operations in providence (Ps. 18:10).       Others interpret them as having reference to the redemption of       men, and as symbolizing the great rulers or ministers of the       church. Many other opinions have been held regarding them which       need not be referred to here. On the whole, it seems to be most       satisfactory to regard the interpretation of the symbol to be       variable, as is the symbol itself.                Their office was, (1) on the expulsion of our first parents       from Eden, to prevent all access to the tree of life; and (2) to       form the throne and chariot of Jehovah in his manifestation of       himself on earth. He dwelleth between and sitteth on the       cherubim (1 Sam. 4:4; Ps. 80:1; Ezek. 1:26, 28).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Chub       the name of a people in alliance with Egypt in the time of       Nebuchadnezzar. The word is found only in Ezek. 30:5. They were       probably a people of Northern Africa, or of the lands near Egypt       in the south.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Hashub       intelligent. (1.) A Levite of the family of Merari (Neh. 11:15;       1 Chr. 9:14). (2.) Neh. 3:23. 3:11.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Jashub       returner. (1.) The third of Issachar's four sons (1 Chr. 7:1);       called also Job (Gen. 46:13).                (2.) Ezra 10:29.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Segub       elevated. (1.) The youngest son of Hiel the Bethelite. His death       is recorded in 1 Kings 16:34 (comp. Josh. 6:26).                (2.) A descendant of Judah (1 Chr. 2:21, 22).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
