    24 So Gideon built an altar there to the Lord and called it 'The Lord is Peace.' To this day it stands in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

    25 That same night the Lord said to him, 'Take the second bull from your father's herd, the one seven years old. Tear down your father’s altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.'

    26 Then build an altar to the Lord your God on the top of this stronghold, laying the stones in an orderly way. Take the second bull and offer it as a burnt offering using the wood of the Asherah pole you cut down.

    27 So Gideon took ten of his servants and did as the Lord had told him. But because he was afraid of his family and the men of the city, he did it at night rather than in the daytime.

    28 When the men of the city got up early in the morning, they saw that the altar of Baal had been torn down, the Asherah pole was cut down, and the second bull offered on the newly built altar.

    29 They asked one another, 'Who did this?' When they investigated and inquired, they were told, 'Gideon son of Joash did it.'

    30 The men of the city said to Joash, 'Bring out your son! He must die, because he has torn down Baal's altar and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.'

    31 But Joash replied to all who stood against him, 'Will you plead Baal’s case? Will you save him? If Baal really is a god, let him defend himself when someone tears down his altar.'
