His story is found in <a href="/judges/6.htm">Judges 6-8</a>. Gideon was called by God to deliver Israel from the oppression of the Midianites. The name Jerubbaal means "Let Baal contend," given after Gideon destroyed the altar of Baal. This act of faith and defiance against idolatry highlights God's power to use unlikely individuals to achieve His purposes. Gideon's victory with just 300 men emphasizes reliance on God's strength rather than human might.<p><b>Barak</b><br>Barak was a military leader during the time of the judge Deborah, as recorded in <a href="/judges/4.htm">Judges 4-5</a>. He led Israel to victory against the Canaanite army led by Sisera. Barak's story underscores the importance of faith and obedience to God's commands, as he initially hesitated to go into battle without Deborah. His partnership with Deborah also highlights the role of women in God's plan. The victory song in <a href="/judges/5.htm">Judges 5</a> celebrates God's deliverance and the cooperation among the tribes of Israel.<p><b>Jephthah</b><br>Jephthah was a judge who delivered Israel from the Ammonites, as detailed in <a href="/judges/11.htm">Judges 11-12</a>. Despite being an outcast due to his birth, Jephthah was chosen by God to lead. His story is a complex one, involving a rash vow that led to personal tragedy. Jephthah's leadership demonstrates God's ability to use flawed individuals for His purposes and serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of hasty promises.<p><b>and Samuel</b><br>Samuel was the last judge of Israel and a prophet who played a crucial role in transitioning Israel from a theocracy to a monarchy. His life and ministry are recorded in 1 Samuel. Samuel anointed both Saul and David as kings, acting as a bridge between the period of the judges and the establishment of the kingdom. His leadership and dedication to God set a standard for spiritual integrity and obedience.<p><b>and He delivered you from the hands of your enemies on every side</b><br>This phrase emphasizes God's faithfulness in delivering Israel from various oppressors throughout their history. Each judge mentioned was raised up by God to rescue Israel from specific threats, demonstrating His ongoing commitment to His covenant people. This deliverance is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, showcasing God's sovereignty and mercy.<p><b>and you dwelt securely</b><br>The security mentioned here refers to the peace and stability that Israel experienced when they followed God's commands and trusted in His deliverance. This security was often short-lived due to Israel's recurring disobedience, but it serves as a reminder of the blessings that come from living in accordance with God's will. The concept of dwelling securely also points forward to the ultimate peace and security found in Jesus Christ, the fulfillment of God's promises.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jerubbaal.htm">Jerubbaal (Gideon)</a></b><br>A judge of Israel who led a small army to victory against the Midianites, demonstrating God's power and deliverance (Judges 6-8).<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/b/barak.htm">Barak</a></b><br>A military leader who, alongside the prophetess Deborah, defeated the Canaanite army led by Sisera, showing God's faithfulness in delivering Israel (Judges 4-5).<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/j/jephthah.htm">Jephthah</a></b><br>A judge who delivered Israel from the Ammonites, known for his vow and subsequent victory, highlighting themes of faith and rash promises (Judges 11-12).<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/s/samuel.htm">Samuel</a></b><br>The last judge of Israel, a prophet who anointed the first two kings of Israel, Saul and David, and played a crucial role in transitioning Israel from a theocracy to a monarchy (1 Samuel).<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/s/security_in_israel.htm">Security in Israel</a></b><br>The state of peace and safety that Israel experienced after being delivered from their enemies, a recurring theme in the history of Israel's relationship with God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_faithfulness_in_deliverance.htm">God's Faithfulness in Deliverance</a></b><br>God consistently delivers His people from their enemies, demonstrating His faithfulness and power.

Gideon was surnamed Jerubbaal out of scorn and derision for the Ph?nician deity: "Let Baal then strive or contend with me, Gideon."<p><span class= "bld">Bedan.</span>--This name does not occur in the record of the "judges." We meet with it only in <a href="/1_chronicles/7-17.htm" title="And the sons of Ulam; Bedan. These were the sons of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh.">1Chronicles 7:17</a>, as a name of one of the descendants of Machir the Manassite, but this Bedan of the Chronicles seems to have been a person of no importance. The LXX. and the Syriac, the two most ancient versions, read, instead of Bedan, <span class= "ital">Barak. </span>The letters forming these two names in the Hebrew are very similar, and a scribe might easily have written the one for the other, and the mistake might well have been perpetuated--at least, this is probable. The famous Hebrew commentator, Rabbi D. Kimchi, suggests Bedan is written for Ben-Dan, the son of Dan <span class= "ital">the </span>Danite. that is. Samson. The list of Hebrew heroes in <a href="/hebrews/11-32.htm" title="And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:">Hebrews 11:32</a> noticeably connects Barak with Gideon and Jephthah. Wordsworth curiously prefers to leave the unknown name of Bedan in the hero catalogue, because he argues "that in this very obscurity of the name we have a confirmation of the genuineness of the speech. A forger would not have ventured to insert a name which occurs nowhere else."<p><span class= "bld">And Samuel.</span>--The Syriac Version substitutes Samson for Samuel, finding, doubtless, a difficulty in the quotation of his own name by the speaker. But the other versions uniformly agree with the Hebrew text, and in truth Samuel could well cite himself a signal instance of God's loving pity in sending deliverance, conscious as he was of his own high mission. No judge had accomplished such great things for the people, and none had received more general recognition. It was a most fitting name to bring in at the close of his list.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_samuel/12.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 11.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Bedan</span>. Numerous ingenious explanations of this name have been given, but the only probable account is that Bedan is a misreading for Barak. The two names are very similar in the Hebrew, and the two most ancient versions, the Septuagint and the Syriac, actually have Barak. <span class="cmt_word">And Samuel.</span> This is even more puzzling than Bedan. We cannot suppose that Samuel, who hitherto had confined himself to the old deliverances, would thus suddenly introduce his own name. In mentioning only them he had avoided everything that would grate upon the ears of the people, but this would look like giving way to personal vexation. Some, therefore, would read Samson; but this, though found in the Syriac, is supported by no other version. Possibly some scribe, mindful of Samuel's recent achievement at Mizpah, wrote his name in the margin, whence it was admitted into the text. <span class="cmt_word">And ye dwelled safe.</span> Literally, "in confidence," in security. With sin came danger and unquiet; upon repentance, not only was their country free from danger, but their minds were at rest. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/1_samuel/12-11.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">So the LORD</span><br /><span class="heb">יְהוָה֙</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
