The Israelites' idolatry and ingratitude As soon as Gideon died The phrase marks a pivotal transition in the narrative of Israel's history. Gideon, also known as Jerubbaal, was a judge who led Israel to victory over the Midianites. His death signifies the end of an era of relative peace and stability. The Hebrew root for "died" (מוּת, muth) often implies not just physical death but the cessation of influence and leadership. Historically, the death of a leader often led to uncertainty and vulnerability, as seen in the cyclical pattern of Israel's faithfulness and apostasy in the Book of Judges. the Israelites turned again and prostituted themselves with the Baals They set up Baal-berith Went a whoring after Baalim.--It was shown again afterwards, in the reign of Ahab, how rapidly unauthorised symbols degenerate into positive idolatry. After all that had occurred it would have been impossible for a Jerubbaal to be a Baal-worshipper, but his little deflection from the appointed ritual soon became a wide divergence from the national faith. Made Baal-berith their god.--Baal-berith means "Lord of the covenant." The Hebrew will bear the meaning given it by some of the versions: "They made a covenant with Baal that he should be their god" (comp. Joshua 24:25, Heb.), but the E.V. is probably correct. Bochart vainly tries to represent Baal-berith as some female deity of Berytus. Verse 33. - And it came to pass, etc. Cf.
