Yes, as seen in Judges ch.6. Gideon's other name, Jerubaal, means to contend against the baal (against idolatry). Like all loyal Israelites, he was a servant of God.

∙ 8y agoThe early Hebrews were polytheistic and we can tell from Gideon's birth name, Jerubbaal, that he was also faithful to the god Baal.
The author of Judges, a devotee of Yahweh as the God of Israel, would not write the story of the hero who had been chosen to drive out the Midianite menace when his name, which means 'may Baal contend', says that he was a follower of Baal. Hence, the author devised the name Gideon ('hewer'), which clearly refers to him cutting down the grove of asherahs, to use only in Judges 6-8 and nowhere else in The Bible. Elsewhere, his actual name, Jerubbaal, was used.
