Peduel or Padael[1] (Ammonite: 𐤐𐤃𐤀𐤋 *Pədōʾēl,[2][a] representing Hebrew: פֲּדָאֵל/פְּדוּאֵל, Modern: Pədūʾēl/Padaʾēl, Tiberian: Peḏūʾēl/Paḏāʾēl; Akkadian: 𒁍𒁺𒀭, romanized: Bu-du-ilu) was king of Ammon in the 720s BCE and probably the successor to Shanip. He is mentioned as a vassal of the Assyrian kings Sennacherib and Esarhaddon. His name also appears on a seal from the period that reads lbydʾl ʿbd pdʾl (Ammonite: 𐤋𐤁𐤉𐤃𐤀𐤋 𐤏𐤁𐤃 𐤐𐤃𐤀𐤋; "Belonging to Beiadel servant of Peduel").[3]
His name, which invokes the name of
Barachel) suggests that El was worshipped in Ammon alongside Milcom
and other deities.
