evil
in the

seven
years

strkjv@Judges:6:2

prevailed
against

the

strkjv@Judges:6:3

Israel
had
sown

Midianites
came
up

Amalekites

up
against them;

up

were without
number

entered
into the

destroy
it.
strkjv@Judges:6:6

greatly

cried
unto the

up
from

told
us of,

up
from

hath
forsaken

thee?

@ And
Gideon
went
in

he
put

put

Take

did
so.

forth

strkjv@Judges:6:25
@ And it came to pass the same
night

bullock

seven

old
, and throw
down
the
altar
of
Baal
that thy

hath, and cut
down
the
grove

build
an

offer
a burnt
sacrifice

down

strkjv@Judges:6:27
@ Then
Gideon
took
ten
men

did

said
unto him: and so it was, because he
feared
his

men
of the
city

do
it by
day

did
it by
night

men
of the
city
arose
early
in the
morning
, behold, the
altar

Baal
was cast
down

grove
was cut
down
that was by it, and the
second
bullock
was
offered
upon the
altar
that was
built

said
one
to

done

enquired

asked

said
,
Gideon

son
of
Joash
hath
done
this
thing
.
strkjv@Judges:6:30
@ Then the
men
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
that was by it.
strkjv@Judges:6:31
@ 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
.
strkjv@Judges:6:32
@ Therefore on that
day
he
called
him
Jerubbaal

saying

plead
against him, because he hath thrown
down

altar

strkjv@Judges:6:33
@ Then all the
Midianites

gathered
together

over

pitched
in the

@ But the
Spirit

sent

up
to
meet
them.
strkjv@Judges:6:36

Gideon
said
unto
God
, If thou
wilt

said

strkjv@Judges:6:37
@ Behold, I will
put
a
fleece
of
wool

dry

know
that thou wilt
save

early
on the

full

once

dry

dew
