Jerubbaal, another name for Gideon, means "Let Baal contend against him," reflecting his role in tearing down the altar of Baal (<a href="/judges/6-32.htm">Judges 6:32</a>). This lack of kindness is significant in the context of ancient Israel, where familial loyalty and gratitude were highly valued. The Israelites' failure to honor Gideon's family contrasts with the covenantal loyalty expected in the community, as seen in other parts of the Old Testament, such as the loyalty shown to David's house (<a href="/2_samuel/9.htm">2 Samuel 9:1</a>).<p><b>(that is, Gideon)</b><br>Gideon, a judge of Israel, was a military leader and prophet who delivered Israel from Midianite oppression (Judges 6-8). His leadership was marked by faith in God, as demonstrated in the miraculous victory with only 300 men (<a href="/judges/7-7.htm">Judges 7:7</a>). The mention of both names emphasizes his dual role as a warrior against idolatry and a leader of Israel. Gideon's story is a type of Christ, as he was a savior figure who delivered his people, prefiguring Jesus' ultimate deliverance from sin.<p><b>for all the good things he had done for Israel.</b><br>Gideon's contributions included military victories and a period of peace lasting 40 years (<a href="/judges/8-28.htm">Judges 8:28</a>). His actions were instrumental in restoring Israel's faith in God and freeing them from foreign oppression. The phrase underscores the theme of human forgetfulness and ingratitude, which is a recurring issue in Israel's history (<a href="/psalms/78-11.htm">Psalm 78:11</a>). This ingratitude foreshadows the rejection of Jesus, who, despite His good works, was not accepted by many of His own people (<a href="/john/1-11.htm">John 1:11</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/gideon.htm">Gideon (Jerubbaal)</a></b><br>A judge of Israel who led the Israelites to victory against the Midianites.
