Hierombalus was mentioned in Sanchuniathon's mythistory as a priest of Ieuo.[1] Both names have garnered much comment, particularly the god's, as it's seen as a variant of the name of Yahweh; its variations in the editions include the well-attested Yao[2][3]
The name Hierombalus (or -os) has been equated with Jerubba'al/Gideon, Hiram [4] or Yerem-Ba'al, an equivalent of Jeremiah.[5] Early commenters saw a problem with the Ba'al-theophoric name: "How can one imagine a priest of YHWH writing for the king of Beirut at the time of the Trojan War?" Baumgarten saw no stricture preventing such a thing.[6]
