However, the concept of contending with shame or idolatry can be related to various Greek terms dealing with idolatry and shame, though these are not direct translations of the name Jerubbesheth. Usage: Jerubbesheth is used as an alternate name for Gideon, the judge of Israel, in 2 Samuel 11:21. This name reflects a period when the Israelites avoided using the name of the Canaanite god Baal, substituting it with "bosheth" (shame). Context: Jerubbesheth is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible as an alternate name for Gideon, the son of Joash, who was a judge and military leader in Israel. The name appears in 2 Samuel 11:21, where it is used in the context of recalling the death of Abimelech, the son of Gideon, during the siege of Thebez. The substitution of "bosheth" for "Baal" in the name reflects the cultural and religious shift among the Israelites, who sought to distance themselves from the worship of Baal by replacing his name with a term denoting shame. This practice is seen in other biblical names as well, such as Ish-bosheth (originally Eshbaal) and Mephibosheth (originally Merib-baal). The use of Jerubbesheth highlights the ongoing struggle between the worship of Yahweh and the influence of Canaanite deities during the period of the Judges.
