    27Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said unto him. And so it was, because he feared his father's household and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.

    28And 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.

    29And they said one to another, Who has done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash has done this thing.

    31And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will you plead for Baal? Will you save him? He that will plead for him, let him be put to death while it is yet morning. If he is a god, let him plead for himself, because someone has cast down his altar.
