Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary


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.

(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.

Jerubba'al or Jerub'ba-al. (contender with Baal). The surname of Gideon, which he acquired in consequence of destroying the altar of Baal, when his father defended him , from the vengeance of the Abiezrites. Jdg_6:32.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


jer-u-bā?al, jē̇-rub?ā̇-al (ירבּעל, yerubba‛al, ?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 bōsheth, the Hebrew word for ?shame,? displaced the word bȧ‛al, no doubt because the name resembled one given in honor of Baal. See GIDEON.

Jerubbaal
(Heb. Yerubba'al, יְרֻבִּעִל, contender with Baal; comp. ISHBAAL; Sept. Ι᾿εροβάαλ), 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 ( ῾Ιερόμβαλος) 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, Ι᾿αρίβολος 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.
