Context
28Watu wa mji walipoamka asubuhi, tazama madhabahu ya Baali imebomolewa na nguzo ya Ashera iliyokuwa karibu nayo imekatwakatwa na yule ngʼombe wa pili ametolewa sadaka juu ya madhabahu yaliyojengwa upya! 29Wakaulizana, “Ni nani aliyetenda mambo haya?”
Walipochunguza kwa makini, wakaambiwa, “Ni Gideoni mwana wa Yoashi, ndiye alitenda hivi.” 30Watu wa mji wakamwambia Yoashi, “Mlete mwanao hapa. Ni lazima afe, kwa sababu amebomoa madhabahu ya Baali na kukatakata nguzo ya Ashera iliyokuwa karibu nayo.” 31Lakini Yoashi akauambia ule umati uliokuwa umezunguka ukiwa kinyume naye, “Je, ninyi mtamtetea Baali? Mnajaribu kumwokoa? Yeyote mwenye kumpigania atauawa kufikia kesho asubuhi! Kama Baali ni mungu kweli, anaweza kujitetea mwenyewe wakati mtu anapobomoa madhabahu yake.” 32Basi siku ile wakamwita Gideoni “Yerub-Baali,” yaani, “Baali na ashindane naye,” kwa sababu alibomoa madhabahu yake.
