Judges 6:31-33
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
31 But Joash replied to all who were standing around him, “Is it for you to take action for Baal, or be his savior? Anyone who takes action for him shall be put to death by morning. If he is a god, let him act for himself,(A) since his altar has been dismantled!” 32 So on that day Gideon was called Jerubbaal,[a](B) because of the words, “Let Baal take action against him, since he dismantled his altar.”
33 Then all Midian and Amalek and the Kedemites mustered and crossed over into the valley of Jezreel, where they encamped.

Judges 6:31-33
New International Version
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)
