Judges 6:28-30

Expanded Bible

²⁸ When the men of the city got up the next morning, ·they saw that [^Llook; ^Tbehold] the altar for Baal ·had been destroyed [^Lwas cut down] and that the ·Asherah idol [Asherah pole; ^LAsherah; v. 25] beside it had been cut down! They also saw the altar Gideon had built and the second bull that had been sacrificed on it. ²⁹ The men of the city asked each other, “Who did this?”

After they ·asked many questions [made a careful investigation], someone told them, “Gideon son of Joash did this.”

³⁰ So the men of the city said to Joash, “Bring your son out. He has pulled down the altar of Baal and cut down the ·Asherah idol [Asherah pole; ^LAsherah] beside it. He must die!”
