Then the Lord looked at him, and said, Thou hast strength; go and set Israel free from the power of Madian.✻ Such is the mission I have for thee. (Judges 6, 14)
What, Lord! said he, I deliver Israel? Why, my clan is the poorest in all Manasses, and in all my father’s house none counts for so little as I. (Judges 6, 15)
And Gedeon asked for a sign from God: If thou meanest to fulfil thy promise, and make use of me to deliver Israel, let me have proof of it. (Judges 6, 36)
This fleece shall lie on the threshing-floor; fall the dew on the fleece only, and let the ground be dry, I shall know that thy promise holds good; I am to be the means of Israel’s deliverance. (Judges 6, 37)
Gedeon fell on his knees when he heard what the dream was, and how it was interpreted. Back he went to the camp of Israel, and cried out, Bestir yourselves, the Lord has left the Madianite camp at our mercy. (Judges 7, 15)
Gedeon made of this a golden mantle,✻ which he set up in the city of Ephra; and faithless Israel fell to worshipping it, to the ruin of Gedeon and his race. (Judges 8, 27)
As for the Madianites, they were bowed to the dust before Israel, and could raise their heads no longer; for a full generation, while Gedeon was there to protect it, the land was at peace. (Judges 8, 28)
And it was little gratitude they shewed to the race of Gedeon, surnamed Jerobaal, that had fought so well for Israel. (Judges 8, 35)
So, for three years, Abimelech was king in Israel; (Judges 9, 22)
The next champion of Israel after Abimelech was the son of his uncle Phua,✻ a man of Issachar named Thola. He lived at Samir in the hill-country of Ephraim, (Judges 10, 1)
and at Samir he died and was buried, after ruling Israel for twenty-three years. (Judges 10, 2)
He was followed by Jair, a man of Galaad, who ruled Israel for twenty-two years. (Judges 10, 3)
