The morning the altar of Baal is found broken down, and the name Jerub-Baal

바알의 단이 훼파된 아침과 여룹바알이라는 이름

Judges 6:28–32: when the men of the city arise early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal is broken down, and the Asherah is cut down that was by it, and the second bull is offered on the altar that was built. They say to one another, “Who has done this thing?” When they inquire and ask, they say, “Gideon the son of Joash has done this thing.” Then the men of the city say to Joash, “Bring out your son, that he may die, because he has broken down the altar of Baal, and because he has cut down the Asherah that was by it.” Joash says to all who stand against him, “Will you contend for Baal? Or will you save him? He who will contend for him, let him be put to death by morning! If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because someone has broken down his altar!” The text goes on at 6:32, “Therefore on that day he named him Jerub-Baal, saying, ‘Let Baal contend against him, because he has broken down his altar.’” The Korean Revised Version does not say who named him.
