Charles Ellicott Commentary Judges 8:35

"neither showed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, [who is] Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had showed unto Israel." — Judges 8:35 (ASV)

Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon.—It is doubtful whether we should not join the two names (Jerubbaal-Gideon), as in the Vulgate. Both names may be here allusive. He had been the “hewer” of their enemies and a “pleader against Baal,” yet they were ungrateful to him and apostatized to Baal-worship.

According to all the goodness which he had shown to Israel.—See Judges 9:17-18.
