Explanation:
Gideon's other name, Jerubbaal, is mentioned in the Bible, particularly in the Book of Judges. After Gideon destroyed his father's altar to Baal, the people of his town demanded that Gideon be put to death. However, his father, Joash, defended him, saying, "Let Baal contend against him because he has broken down his altar" (Judges 6:32). From that incident, Gideon came to be known as Jerubbaal, which means "Let Baal contend" or "Baal will contend." This name change reflects the association of Gideon with his actions against the worship of Baal and his efforts to restore the worship of Yahweh among the Israelites.
