Judges 6:28-32

28When the menH582 of the cityH5892 got upH7925 in the morningH1242, there wasH2009 Baal’sH1168 altarH4196 torn downH5422, with the Asherah poleH842 cut downH3772 beside itH5921 and the secondH8145 bullH6499 offered upH5927 onH5921 the newly builtH1129 altarH4196. 29“WhoH4310 didH6213H1697 thisH2088?” they saidH559 toH413 oneH376 anotherH7453.

And after they had investigated thoroughlyH1875H1245, they were toldH559, “GideonH1439 sonH1121 of JoashH3101 didH6213H1697 itH2088.”

30Then the menH582 of the cityH5892 saidH559 toH413 JoashH3101, “Bring outH3318 your sonH1121. He must dieH4191, becauseH3588 he has torn downH5422 Baal’sH1168H3588 altarH4196 and cut downH3772 the Asherah poleH842 beside itH5921.”

31But JoashH3101 saidH559 to allH3605 whoH834 stoodH5975 against himH5921, “Are youH859 contendingH7378 for BaalH1168? Are youH859 trying to save himH3467? WhoeverH834 pleads his caseH7378 will be put to deathH4191 byH5704 morningH1242! IfH518 Baal is a godH430, let him contendH7378 for himself withH3588 the one who has torn downH5422 his altarH4196.”

32So on that dayH3117H1931 Gideon was calledH7121 JerubbaalH3378,1 that is to sayH559, “Let BaalH1168 contendH7378 with him,” becauseH3588 he had torn downH5422 Baal’s altarH4196.
