Judges 6:28-30 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

To what an awful length of apostasy must Israel have been arrived, to condemn openly and without shame, one whose offence was zeal for Jehovah' s honour, and a detestation of the worship of a dunghill deity.

Judges 6:28-30

28 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.

29 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.

30 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.
