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 so...n, 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.31 And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar.32 Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.Artists: Drawn by Hoet and engraved by SluiterMedium: engraving on laid paper Size (plate): approx. 13.5 x 8.5” (34 x 21cm); margins vary Condition: age toning Taken from: Scenes of the Main Histories of the Old and New Testaments, and other books, joined by the Sacred Scriptures, by the Distinguished Artists Hoet, Houbraken, and Picart… [Taferelen der Voornaamste Geschiedenissen van het Oude en Nieuwe Testament, en Andere Boeken, bij de Heilige Schrift Gevoegt, door de vermaarde kunstenaars Hoet, Houbraken, en Picart getekent...] Place Published: The Hague [In's Graavenhaage] Publisher: Pieter de Hondt Date Published: 1728 Captions in Hebrew/Greek, English, German, Latin, French and Dutch
