The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Judges 6:25-40

Gideon Granted Special Signs v. 25. And it came to pass the same night, following this wonderful manifestation, that the Lord said unto him, Gideon, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, for thus openly was idolatry practised in Israel, and cut down the grove, the Ashera pillar that is by it, the chief deities of the Canaanites being worshiped by the family of Abiezer; v. 26. and build an altar... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Judges 6:28-40

Beginning Reform at Home Judges 6:28-40 The good sense of Joash saved his son. “Of what use is Baal to us,” said he, “if he cannot take care of himself?” Gideon had stood the divine test; can you wonder that the Spirit of Jehovah, whom we know as the Holy Spirit, came upon Gideon and wrought mightily through his submitted life? Oh, to be pliant to the Spirit of Christ, as clothes to the body! With heroic courage he blew the trumpet of revolt, regardless of Midian, and at its notes the whole... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Judges 6:1-40

After the passing of these forty years, sin again brought punishment. The people passed under the oppression of Midian. It was oppression of the severest kind and lasted for seven years. A terrible picture is drawn of the people of God hiding in dens and caves and strongholds. In answer to their cry deliverance began. It came through Gideon. He is revealed as a man continuing his work with the bitterness of the whole situation burning like a fire in his bones. He was conscious of the true... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Judges 6:11-40

Gideon's Call to Conquest Judges 6:11-40 INTRODUCTORY WORDS There come times of special exigencies when God speaks to special men calling them to special service. Such a call came to Gideon, and there may come such a call to some who study with us today. In. the days of Gideon the Children of Israel had turned aside to worship Baal. The Lord had given them into the hands of Midian, and they had, in their affliction, cried unto the Lord. When they cried, the Lord heard them and raised up a... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 6:28

‘ And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was broken down, and the Asherah-image was cut down which was by it, and the second bullock was offered on the altar that was built.’ When the townsfolk arose in the morning they found that the altar of Baal was broken down and that the Asherah-image had been cut down and had disappeared, and a new altar had been built on the rock under the oak in accordance with Israelite patterns, with the remains of a burnt... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 6:25-32

Judges 6:25-Jonah : . The Destruction of the Altar of Baal.— We have seen that after the Conquest Yahweh was reverently and innocently called the Baal (Lord) of the land, and that loyal Israelites gave their children Baal names. The present section, in which the Baal of Ophrah is distinguished from Yahweh, and regarded as a heathen god, must have been written after the time of Hosea, who was the first to condemn the practice of applying the name Baal to the God of Israel ( Hosea 2:17) . ... read more

CHAPTER 6—Judges 6:24-32THE REMOVAL OF THE BARRIER TO DELIVERANCECRITICAL NOTES.—one thing must be scrupulously gone about, ere a step can be taken to secure the much-needed emancipation of the land. The deliverance itself it would be easy for God to accomplish, were the barrier that prevented it taken out of the way. To remove that barrier out of the way, was, in God’s sight, the great thing to be done. Baal stood where Jehovah alone should stand. That which brought all this misery on Israel,... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Judges 6:1-40

Judges 6-8 In the first words of Gideon we find the key to his character. (1) He was a man who felt deeply the degradation of his people. He could not enjoy his own harvest while the Midianites were robbing all around; he had the patriot's wide sympathy. (2) He was a man also of the strongest common sense, accustomed to look through words to things, and to look the facts of life fair in the face. (3) He was a man of abundant personal valour, but yet unwilling to move a step until he was sure... read more
