JERUBBAAL

(Heb. yĕrubbaʿal) (also JERUBBESHETH)

The name (“let Baal [or ‘the master’] contend” or “multiply”) given to Gideon to commemorate his destruction of his father’s altar to Baal at Ophrah (Judg. 6:32). At times this name is identified as an alternate appellative (Judg. 7:1; 8:35), but at others it is clearly a substitute for Gideon (e.g., ch. 9; 1 Sam. 2:11); some scholars view this as evidence of different sources. The euphemistic form Jerubbesheth occurs at 2 Sam. 11:21.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
