The city awoke to the fallen altar

28When the men of the city rose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal had been torn down, and the Asherah that was on it had been cut down, and the second bull had been offered up on the altar that had been built.

29And each man said to his neighbor, “Who has done this thing?” And they inquired and searched, and they said, “Gideon son of Joash has done this thing.”
