Secondly, There is a legal striving, a striving by way of plea, about matters of right and title. The word in the text chiefly imports such a judiciary striving, a strife in law, when the adverse party or Plaintiff impleads and commenceth his suit against the Defendant. Striving is taken in this sense and joined with warring in the description of that contest which Jephthah had with the King of the Children of Ammon (Judg: 11.25.) And now art thou any thing better then Balak the son of Zippor king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel? or did he ever fight against them? That is, did he either make war with Israel, or did he so much as challenge and plead his right to their land by law? That other name which Joash Gideons father occasionally gave him (Judg: 6.31, 32.) takes part from this word; Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar. As if he had said, Let Baal come and enter his action against my Son if he please; and let my Son alone to answer him.
