The meaning of Jerubbaal in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)

jer-u-ba'-al, je-rub'-a-al (yerubba'al, "let Baal contend"): The name given to Gideon by his father, Joash, and the people in recognition of his destruction of the altar of Baal at Ophrah (Judges 6:32). For this name the form "Jerubbesheth" (II Samuel 1:21) was substituted after the analogy of "Ishbosheth" and "Mephibosheth," in which bosheth, the Hebrew word for "shame," displaced the word ba'al, no doubt because the name resembled one given in honor of Baal.

See GIDEON.
