9 and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of all who oppressed you, and adrove them out before you and gave you their land.
10 Also I said to you, “I am the Lord your God; ado not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.” But you have not obeyed My bvoice.’ ”
Gideon
11 Now the Angel of the Lord came and sat under the terebinth tree which was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash athe Abiezrite, while his son bGideon threshed wheat in the winepress, in order to hide it from the Midianites.
12 And the aAngel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, “The Lord is bwith you, you mighty man of valor!”
13 Gideon said to Him, “O1 my lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And awhere are all His miracles bwhich our fathers told us about, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has cforsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.”

Judges 6:11
If there was peace in the land—if the people did not feel fear that somehow or another they were going to be harassed, even around their homes—why would Gideon (a man of valor, a strong man, a leader) have to do his threshing in a place where he was hidden from prying eyes that might somehow try to mug him, knock him out, steal the grain that he was threshing, and he would lose his crop?
