STRONGS G955:
Βελίαλ, ὁ, (בְּלִיַעַל worthlessness, wickedness), Belial, a name of Satan, 2 Corinthians 6:15 in Rec.bez elz L. But Βελιάρ (which see) is preferable [see WHs Appendix, p. 159; Buttmann, 6].

Related entry:
βελίαρ, ὁ, indeclinable, Beliar, a name of Satan in 2 Corinthians 6:15 Rec.st G T Tr WH, etc. This form is either to be ascribed (as most suppose) to the harsh Syriac pronunciation of the word βελίαλ (which see), or must be derived from בֵּל יַעַר lord of the forest, i. e. who rules over forests and deserts, (cf. Sept. Isaiah 13:21; Matthew 12:43; [BB. DD. under the word Belial, especially Alex.'s Kitto]). Often in ecclesiastical writings.
