Verse 32
32. He called him Jerubbaal The Baal-fighter. The subject or the verb called is indefinite one called him, like the subject of cast down in the preceding verse. The idea is, that from that day Jerubbaal became Gideon’s common but honourable name. “When it became apparent to the people that Baal could not do him any harm, Jerubbaal became a Baal-fighter, one who had fought against Baal.” Keil.
