Bildad

From: Concise Bible Dictionary: B By: George A. Morrish

One of Job’s friends, “the Shuhite,” perhaps a descendant of Shuah the son of Abraham and Keturah. He in no way understood Job’s case, and could only judge that Job was being punished for wickedness, whereas God had called Job a righteous man. God’s anger was kindled against Bildad; but he, with his two companions, brought a sacrifice, and when Job prayed for them God accepted him (Job 2:11¹¹Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him. (Job 2:11); Job 8:1¹Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, (Job 8:1); Job 18:1¹Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, (Job 18:1); Job 25:1¹Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, (Job 25:1); Job 42:9⁹So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the Lord commanded them: the Lord also accepted Job. (Job 42:9)).
