Judges 6:30-32

Living Bible

³⁰ “Bring out your son,” they shouted to Joash. “He must die for insulting the altar of Baal and for cutting down the Asherah idol.”

³¹ But Joash retorted to the whole mob, “Does Baal need your help? What an insult to a god! You are the ones who should die for insulting Baal! If Baal is really a god, let him take care of himself and destroy the one who broke apart his altar!”

³² From then on Gideon was called “Jerubbaal,” a nickname meaning “Let Baal take care of himself!”^[a]
