*
And when the men 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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal ,
saying ,
Let Baal plead against him ,
because he hath thrown down his altar .
