Verse 32
He called him Jerubbaal - That is, Let Baal contend; changed, 2 Samuel 11:21 , into Jerubbesheth, he shall contend against confusion or shame; thus changing baal , lord, into bosheth , confusion or ignominy. Some think that Jerubbaal was the same with Jerombalus, who, according to Sanchoniatho and Porphyry, was a priest of Jevo. But the history of Sanchoniatho is probably a forgery of Porphyry himself, and worthy of no credit.
