Judges 6:24-27

24Then Gideon built an altar there to the Lord and called it, aThe Lord Is Peace. To this day it still stands at bOphrah, which belongs to the Abiezrites.

25That night the Lord said to him, “Take your father’s bull, and the second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down cthe Asherah that is beside it 26and build an altar to the Lord your God on the top of the dstronghold here, with stones laid in due order. Then take the second bull and offer it as a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah that you shall cut down.” 27So Gideon took ten men of his servants and did as the Lord had told him. But because he was too afraid of his family and the men of the town to do it by day, he did it by night.
