Judges 6:31-33
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
31 But Joash said to all who were arrayed against him, “Will you contend for Baal? Or will you defend his cause? Whoever contends for him shall be put to death by morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because his altar has been pulled down.” 32 Therefore on that day Gideon[a] was called Jerubbaal, that is to say, “Let Baal contend against him,” because he pulled down his altar.(A)
33 Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the east came together, and they crossed over and encamped in the Valley of Jezreel.(B)

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)
