Judge sorry in discussion done with God (7)

I believe the answer is:

jehovah

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'god' is the definition.
(I know that god can be written as Jehovah)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for jehovah that I've seen before include "Name of God in the Old Testament" , "Hebrew name of God" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
