Phoenician god (4)
I believe the answer is:
baal
'phoenician god' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for baal that I've seen before include "Canaanite fertility god" , "God Elijah defeated" , "Hellish idol" , "God of the Phoenicians" , "God of the Canaanites" .)
