In Judges chapters 6-8, God called Gideon at a time when the Midianites were oppressively ruling over Israel. He led an uprising against the Midianites with a very small force of men. The author of Judges, a staunch, unswerving devotee of Yahweh as the God of Israel, could not write the story of the hero who had been chosen to drive out the Midianite menace, when his name was associated with Baal. Hence, he devised the name Gideon to use only in telling this story and nowhere else in the Bible. Elsewhere, his actual name, Jerubbaal, was used.

Is JerubBaal another name for Gideon in the Bible?
Yes. Judges 7:1: "Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon ..."Scholars say that his birth name must have been Jerubbaal but that the author of Judges refused to use this name in describing how Yahweh chose him to deliver the Israelites from the Midianites. Elsewhere, he is always called Jerubbaal.
