Iconoclasm: Destroyed by Gideon

Source: Nav

Judges 6:28–32 When the men of the city got up in the morning, there was Baal’s altar torn down, with the Asherah pole cut down beside it and the second bull offered up on the newly built altar. / “Who did this?” they said to one another. And after they had investigated thoroughly, they were told, “Gideon son of Joash did it.” / Then the men of the city said to Joash, “Bring out your son. He must die, because he has torn down Baal’s altar and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.”
