JERUBBAAL . A name given to Gideon ( Judges 6:32; Judges 7:1; Judges 8:29; Judges 8:35; Judges 9:1-2; Judges 9:5; Judges 9:16; Judges 9:19; Judges 9:24; Judges 9:28; Judges 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 Judges 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 ( 2 Samuel 11:21 ); cf. Ishbosheth, Mephibosheth .
