Judges 6:31

Will ye plead for Baal? Cf. Job 13:8. The pron. is emphatic: -Will yecontend for Baal? will yesave him?" The next sentence, -whoever takes up arms for the false god shall be put to death forthwith," interrupts the argument, and introduces an idea foreign to the context; the words appear to have been inserted to make it plain that Joash did think Baal to be no real divinity. -Will yecontend for Baal? will yesave him? If he is a god let him contend for himself!" Moore appropriately quotes as an illustration the saying of Tiberius to the consuls, -Deorum injuriae diis curae," Tacitus, Annal. i. 73.

whilstit is yet morning i.e. -during the morning," cf. Judges 3:26 -while they tarried," lit. -during their tarrying." But this use of the prep, is rare; lit. the words = until the morning, and this is best taken to mean by to-morrow morning, cf. Judges 16:2.
