What does gideon do after he destroys the altar of baal?

After Gideon destroys the altar of Baal, he remains cautious and fearful of the backlash from his community. He does this at night to avoid detection. The next day, the people of his town discover the destroyed altar and demand justice, leading to a confrontation where Gideon is defended by his father, who argues that if Baal is truly a god, he can defend himself. This act strengthens Gideon’s resolve and marks the beginning of his role as a leader in Israel against the Midianites.
