Judges 6:32 in Context — Judges 6

30 Alors les gens de la ville dirent à Joas: Fais sortir ton fils, et qu’il meure, car il a renversé l’autel de Baal et abattu le pieu sacré qui était dessus.

31 Joas répondit à tous ceux qui se présentèrent à lui: Est-ce à vous de prendre parti pour Baal? Est-ce à vous de venir à son secours? Quiconque prendra parti pour Baal mourra avant que le matin vienne. Si Baal est un dieu, qu’il plaide lui-même sa cause, puisqu’on a renversé son autel.

32 Et en ce jour l’on donna à Gédéon le nom de Jerubbaal, en disant: Que Baal plaide contre lui, puisqu’il a renversé son autel.

33 Tout Madian, Amalek et les fils de l’Orient, se rassemblèrent; ils passèrent le Jourdain, et campèrent dans la vallée de Jizréel.

34 Gédéon fut revêtu de l’esprit de l’Éternel; il sonna de la trompette, et Abiézer fut convoqué pour marcher à sa suite.
