07:006:026 And build an altar unto the lord thy God upon the top of this
           rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and
           offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou
           shalt cut down.

07:006:027 Then 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.

07:006:028 And 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.

07:006:029 And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing?  And
           when they enquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of
           Joash hath done this thing.

07:006:030 Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son,
           that he may die:  because he hath cast down the altar of Baal,
           and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it.

07:006:031 And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead
           for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let
           him be put to death whilst it is yet morning:  if he be a god,
           let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his
           altar.

07:006:032 Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let
           Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.

07:006:033 Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of
           the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in
           the valley of Jezreel.

07:006:034 But the Spirit of the lord came upon Gideon, and he blew a
           trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him.

07:006:035 And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was
           gathered after him:  and he sent messengers unto Asher, and
           unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet
           them.

07:006:036 And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine
           hand, as thou hast said,

07:006:037 Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the
           dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth
           beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine
           hand, as thou hast said.

07:006:038 And it was so:  for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust
           the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a
           bowl full of water.
