marbles pl.n.   [from mainstream "lost all his/her marbles"] The    minimum needed to build your way further up some hierarchy of tools    or abstractions.   After a bad system crash, you need to determine if    the machine has enough marbles to come up on its own, or enough    marbles to allow a rebuild from backups, or if you need to rebuild    from scratch.   "This compiler doesn't even have enough marbles to    compile {hello world}."

marbles          (From the mainstream "lost his marbles") The minimum       needed to build your way further up some hierarchy of tools or       abstractions.   After a bad system {crash}, you need to       determine if the machine has enough marbles to come up on its       own, or enough marbles to allow a rebuild from {backups}, or       if you need to rebuild from scratch.   "This {compiler} doesn't       even have enough marbles to compile {hello, world}."          [{Jargon File}]          (1998-05-21)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Marble       as a mineral, consists of carbonate of lime, its texture varying       from the highly crystalline to the compact. In Esther 1:6 there       are four Hebrew words which are rendered marble:, (1.) Shesh,       "pillars of marble." But this word probably designates dark-blue       limestone rather than marble. (2.) Dar, some regard as Parian       marble. It is here rendered "white marble." But nothing is       certainly known of it. (3.) Bahat, "red marble," probably the       verd-antique or half-porphyry of Egypt. (4.) Sohareth, "black       marble," probably some spotted variety of marble. "The marble       pillars and tesserae of various colours of the palace at Susa       came doubtless from Persia itself, where marble of various       colours is found, especially in the province of Hamadan       Susiana." The marble of Solomon's architectural works may have       been limestone from near Jerusalem, or from Lebanon, or possibly       white marble from Arabia. Herod employed Parian marble in the       temple, and marble columns still exist in great abundance at       Jerusalem.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Merib-baal       contender with Baal, (1 Chr. 8:34; 9:40), elsewhere called       Mephibosheth (2 Sam. 4:4), the son of Jonathan.
From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
Meribbaal, he that resists Baal; rebellion
