Jerubbaal
(Heb. Yerubba’al, , contender with Baal; comp. ISHBAAL; Sept. ), a surname of GIDEON SEE GIDEON (q.v.), the judge of Israel, given him in consequence of his overthrow of the idol (Jdg 6:32; Jdg 7:1; Jdg 8:29; Jdg 8:35; Jdg 9:1-2; Jdg 9:5; Jdg 9:16; Jdg 9:19; Jdg 9:24; Jdg 9:28; Jdg 9:57; 2Sa 12:11). The name Jerubbaal appears in the Graecized form of Hierombal ( ) in a fragment of Philo-Byblius preserved by Eusebius (Proep. Evang. 1, 9); but the identity of name does not authorize us to conclude that it is Gideon who is there referred to. In the Palmyrene inscriptions, appears as the name of a deity (Gesenius, Monun. Pheon. p. 229; Movers, Phonicier, 1, 434). Josephus omits all reference to the incident (Ant. 5, 6). SEE JERUBBESHETH.

Jerubbaal
(See GIDEON.) Jdg 6:32 translated, “they (not Joash, but one, for the townsmen generally) called him Jeroboam, saying, Let Baal fight against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.” They took up Joash’s words: “he that will fight for Baal (seeking to put to death the destroyer of his altar) shall be put to death (himself; let us wait) TILL morning (to see, will Baal avenge his own wrong); let Baal fight for himself.” When Baal did Gideon, no harm the title Jerub-Baal, the” Baal fighter,” became an honourable one. Besheth, “shame,” is substituted for the idol in Jerubbesheth (to comply literally with Exo 23:13; 2Sa 11:21), as in Ishbosheth for Eshbaal (2Sa 2:8 ff; 1Ch 8:33; 1Ch 9:39). Philo of Bybhs, in his revision of Sanehoniatho, calls him Hierombal, priest of Jeue, or Jahve, or Jehovah.

Jerubbaal
JERUBBAAL.A name given to Gideon (Jdg 6:32; Jdg 7:1; Jdg 8:29; Jdg 8:35; Jdg 9:1-2; Jdg 9:5; Jdg 9:16; Jdg 9:19; Jdg 9:24; Jdg 9:28; Jdg 9:57). It is = Baal strives, Baal being a name for J [Note: Jahweh.] , as in Ishbaal, Meribbaal; it cannot = one who strives with Baal, as Jdg 6:32 would suggest. This name was altered to Jerubbesheth (besheth = shame) when Baal could no longer be used of J [Note: Jahweh.] without offence (2Sa 11:21); cf. Ishbosheth, Mephibosheth.

Jerubbaal
One of the names of Gideon: he was so called for destroying the grove of that idol Baal-Jerub, meaning, that he destroys. (See Jdg 6:1-40.) This man was evidently led on by the Spirit of the Lord; and his history affords very striking testimonies in the Scripture referred to, and also in the following chapter (Jdg 7:1-25. Alas! what is the best of men, if for a moment acting without the influence of grace!

Jerubbaal
jer-u-baal, je-ruba-al (, yerubbaal, let Baal contend): The name given to Gideon by his father, Joash, and the people in recognition of his destruction of the altar of Baal at Ophrah (Jdg 6:32). For this name the form Jerubbesheth (2Sa 1:21) was substituted after the analogy of Ishbosheth and Mephibosheth, in which bosheth, the Hebrew word for shame, displaced the word baal, no doubt because the name resembled one given in honor of Baal. See GIDEON.
