Judges 6:31-33
Evangelical Heritage Version
31 But Joash said to all those who opposed him, “Will you contend for Baal? Will you save him? Whoever contends for him will be put to death by morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself if someone broke down his altar.” 32 From that day on they called Gideon “Jerubbaal,”[a] saying, “Let Baal contend with him, if he broke down his altar.”
33 Then all the Midianites and Amalekites and the people of the East gathered together. They crossed over to Israelite territory and set up camp in the Valley of Jezre’el.

31 But Joash replied to the hostile crowd around him, “Are you going to plead Baal’s cause?(A) Are you trying to save him? Whoever fights for him shall be put to death by morning! If Baal really is a god, he can defend himself when someone breaks down his altar.” 32 So because Gideon broke down Baal’s altar, they gave him the name Jerub-Baal[a](B) that day, saying, “Let Baal contend with him.”
33 Now all the Midianites, Amalekites(C) and other eastern peoples(D) joined forces and crossed over the Jordan and camped in the Valley of Jezreel.(E)
