32 Therefore on that day H3117 he called H7121 him Jerubbaal, H3378 saying, H559 Let Baal H1168 plead H7378 against him, because he hath thrown down H5422 his altar. H4196
And the LORD H3068 sent H7971 Jerubbaal, H3378 and Bedan, H917 and Jephthah, H3316 and Samuel, H8050 and delivered H5337 you out of the hand H3027 of your enemies H341 on every side, H5439 and ye dwelled H3427 safe. H983
Then Jerubbaal, H3378 who is Gideon, H1439 and all the people H5971 that were with him, rose up early, H7925 and pitched H2583 beside the well of Harod: H5878 so that the host H4264 of the Midianites H4080 were on the north side H6828 of them, by the hill H1389 of Moreh, H4176 in the valley. H6010
Who smote H5221 Abimelech H40 the son H1121 of Jerubbesheth? H3380 did not a woman H802 cast H7993 a piece H6400 of a millstone H7393 upon him from the wall, H2346 that he died H4191 in Thebez? H8405 why went ye nigh H5066 the wall? H2346 then say H559 thou, Thy servant H5650 Uriah H223 the Hittite H2850 is dead H4191 also.
For according to the number H4557 of thy cities H5892 were thy gods, H430 O Judah; H3063 and according to the number H4557 of the streets H2351 of Jerusalem H3389 have ye set up H7760 altars H4196 to that shameful thing, H1322 even altars H4196 to burn incense H6999 unto Baal. H1168
I found H4672 Israel H3478 like grapes H6025 in the wilderness; H4057 I saw H7200 your fathers H1 as the firstripe H1063 in the fig tree H8384 at her first time: H7225 but they went H935 to Baalpeor, H1187 and separated H5144 themselves unto that shame; H1322 and their abominations H8251 were according as they loved.

It is not said what effect the prophet's sermon had upon the people, but we may hope it had a good effect, and that some of them at least repented and reformed upon it; for here, immediately after, we have the dawning of the day of their deliverance, by the effectual calling of Gideon to take upon him the command of their forces against the Midianites.
