Judges 6:27-32

Judges 6:27-32

[27] Then Gideon  took  ten  of his servants,  and did  as the LORD  had said  unto him: and so it was, because he feared  his father's  household,  of the city,  that he could not do  it by day,  that he did  it by night.  [28] of the city  arose early  in the morning,  behold, the altar  of Baal  was cast down,  and the grove  was cut down  that was by it, and the second  bullock  was offered  upon the altar  that was built.  [29] And they said  one  to another,  Who hath done  this thing?  And when they enquired  and asked,  they said,  Gideon  the son  of Joash  hath done  this thing.  [30] of the city  said  unto Joash,  Bring out  thy son,  that he may die:  because he hath cast down  the altar  of Baal,  and because he hath cut down  the grove  [31] And Joash  said  unto all that stood  against him, Will ye plead  for Baal?  will ye save  him? he that will plead  for him, let him be put to death  whilst it is yet morning:  if he be a god,  let him plead  for himself, because one hath cast down  his altar.  [32] Therefore on that day  he called  him Jerubbaal,  saying,  Let Baal  plead  against him, because he hath thrown down  his altar.
