30 Then the men of the cytie sayde vnto Ioas: bringe out thy sonne, that he maye dye? because he hath destroyed the aulter of Baal, & cut downe the groue that was by it.
31 And Ioas sayde vnto all that stode by him: will ye leade Baals cause? or will ye be his defenders? he that hath medled agaynst him, let him dye or the mornynge. If he be a God, let him be auenged of him, that cast downe hys aulter.
32 And from that daye was Gedeon called: Ierobaal, because his father had sayde: Let Baal be auenged of hym, that hath broken downe his aulter.
33 All the Madianites therfore, & the Amalekites & they of the east, were geathered togeather, & went, & pitched in the valeye of Iesrael:
34 but the sprete of the Lord came vpon Gedeon. And he blewe a trompette, & called Abiezer to folow him,
35 & sent messengers thorow out all Manasses, & called them, which also dyd folowe him. And he sent messengers vnto Aser, Zabulon and Nephthalim, and they came to mete hym.
36 And Gedeon sayd vnto God: wilt thou saue Israel in my hande, as thou hast sayde:
37 Beholde, I wyll put a flece of wolle in the threasshyng place. And yf the dewe come on the flece onlye, & it be drye vpon all the erth besyde, then shall I be sure, that thou wilt saue Israel by my hande, as thou saydest.
38 And it came so to passe. For he rose vp erlye on the morowe, and thrust the flece togeather, and wronge the dewe therout, & fylled a bowle of water:
39 & Gedeon sayd agayne vnto God: be not angrye wt me, that I speake once moare. For I wyll proue once agayne by the flece. Let it be drye onlye vpon the flece, and dewe vpon all the grounde.
40 And God did so that same nyght: For it was drye vpon the flece onely, & there was dew on all the grounde.
