Baal. Mentioned in the Bible, Elisha (I believe) and the priest's of Baal (pronounced bay-uh) have a bit of a contest. They wet logs down and see which of the two almighty deities can light the logs on fire. God wins, of course.

Also, an enemy of the Isrealites capture the Ark of the Covenant. They place it before a statue of Baal. We all know what happens.

Baal is also referred to in the bible as Beelzebub or Baalzebub, one of the fallen angels of Satan.
