John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Judges 6:32

He called — Joash called Gideon so, Judges 8:29, in remembrance of this noble exploit, and to put a brand upon Baal. Jerub — baal — That is, Let Baal plead. It is a probable conjecture, that that Jerombalus, whom Sanchoniathon, (one of the most ancient of all the Heathen writers) speaks of as a priest of Jao, (a corruption of Jehovah) and to whom he was indebted for a great deal of knowledge, was this Jerub — baal.
