Jueces 6:32 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 6:32

Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal
That is, Joash called his son Gideon by that name; who, some think, is the same with Jerombalus, the priest of the god Jevo, or Jehovah; from whom Sanchoniatho, an ancient Phoenician writer, as Philo Byblius says F23, received the principal things in his history respecting the Jews:

saying, let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his
altar;
giving this as the reason of the name of Jerubbaal he called him by, which signifies, "let Baal plead"; let Baal plead his own cause, and avenge himself on Gideon for what he has done to him, and put him to death if he can.

Jueces 6:32 In-Context

30 Entonces los hombres de la ciudad le exigieron a Joás:—Saca a tu hijo, pues debe morir, porque destruyó el altar de Baal y derribó la imagen de Aserá que estaba junto a él.
31 Pero Joás le respondió a todos los que lo amenazaban:—¿Acaso van ustedes a defender a Baal? ¿Creen que lo van a salvar? ¡Cualquiera que defienda a Baal, que muera antes del amanecer! Si de veras Baal es un dios, debe poder defenderse de quien destruya su altar.
32 Por eso aquel día llamaron a Gedeón «Yerubaal», diciendo: «Que Baal se defienda contra él», porque él destruyó su altar.
33 Todos los madianitas y amalecitas, y otros pueblos del oriente, se aliaron y cruzaron el Jordán, acampando en el valle de Jezrel.
34 Entonces Gedeón, poseído por el Espíritu del SEÑOR, tocó la trompeta, y todos los del clan de Abiezer fueron convocados a seguirlo.
