Judges 6:33

Compare all

31 But Joash said to all who stood against him, “Would you¹ plead for Baal? Would you save him? Let the one who would plead for him be put to death by morning! If he is a god, let him plead for himself, because his altar has been torn down!”

32 Therefore on that day he called him ^aJerubbaal, saying, “Let Baal plead against him, because he has torn down his altar.”

33 Then all ^athe Midianites and Amalekites, the people of the East, gathered together; and they crossed over and encamped in ^bthe Valley of Jezreel.

34 But ^athe Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon; then he ^bblew the trumpet, and the Abiezrites gathered behind him.

35 And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh, who also gathered behind him. He also sent messengers to ^aAsher, ^bZebulun, and Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.

The Sign of the Fleece

36 So Gideon said to God, “If You will save Israel by my hand as You have said—

37 ^alook, I shall put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor; if there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that You will save Israel by my hand, as You have said.”

Judges 6:33

A fresh invasion, and the last, of Midianites Amalekites, and Arabs (see Judges 6:3). But the Israelites, instead of hiding in dens and caves, and tamely leaving all their substance as pIunder to the invaders, now rally around their leader.
