Bildad

Bildad (Biblical Hebrew: בִּלְדַּד‎, romanized: Bildaḏ;[a] Ancient Greek: Βαλδάδ, romanized: Baldád), the Shuhite, was one of Job's three friends who visited the patriarch in the Hebrew Bible's Book of Job.

He was a descendant of Shuah, son of Abraham and Keturah (Genesis 25:1–2),[2] whose family lived in the deserts of Arabia, or a resident of the district.

[6] In substance, Bildad largely echos what Eliphaz the Temanite had claimed.

[7] Bildad's speech is charged with somewhat increased vehemence, compared to Eliphaz who spoke first, because Bildad found Job's words too angry and impious.

[9] Bildad's brief third speech, just five verses in length,[10] marked the silencing of the friends.
