Judges 8

Judges 8:2

What have I now done in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?

What need ye contend for this? That latter fact, that ye Ephraimites have done, in chasing and executing the Midianites, is much more than all that, which we followers of Abiezer have done, in joining the battle and routing these enemies.

Judges 8:6

Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?

Canst thou be so foolish, as to hope to subdue Zeba and Zalmunna, that we should cast away our victuals on thine army, upon this vain pretence?

Judges 8:7

I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness.

I will beat your bodies, with whips of thorns and briers, unto death.

Judges 8:16

And with them he taught the men of Succoth.

With them he did, according as he had threatened, beat the elders of that city, for a warning unto the men of Succoth; who, by their example were taught, how dangerous it is to slight God’s agents.

Judges 8:26

A thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold.

A thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold, whereof every one weighed a hundred and sixty grains, which is two drams and sixteen grains.

Judges 8:27

And put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither a whoring after it.

He put it, as a monument of that great victory and deliverance, in his city Ophrah: but the people afterwards made an ill use of it; turning it to the service of their idols, wherewith they were shamefully defiled.
