Asael

:"For the Israeli settlement outpost, see Asa'el"Asael (Hebrew: עשהאל, Greek: ‘Ασεάλ)

Translation: Made by God.
Etymology: Theophorous "nominal" name appearing in the Bible, made up of two parts: the verb עשה, Hebrew "to do, make" 3rd m.sg. perfect, and the theophorous element (deity name), אל, the Hebrew God El, or Elohim. This would make the name a name of "thanksgiving," thanking God for what he has "made, done". Also written as Asahel, Asaell, Assael.
Appearances: Asael is the youngest son of Zeruiah, David's sister. His old Brothers Joab and Abishai. He was known for his swiftness of foot: "Asahel was swift of foot, like a gazelle in the open field." (cf. IISam. 2:18). He was put to death by Abner, whom he pursued from the battlefield when fighting against Ish-bosheth at Gibeon, in the army of his brother Joab, (cf. IISam. 2:18-19). He is considered among David's thirty valiant men (cf. IISam. 23:24; ICh. 11:26).Other occurrences of Asael appear to be of those with the same name but not sharing the mythology: (cf. IICh. 17:8, 31:13; Ezr. 10:15).

Additionally, the name Asael (under a variant spelling) appears in Aramaic as was the 10th Watcher of the 20 leaders of the 200 fallen angels that are mentioned in an ancient work called the Book of Enoch.
