Judges 6:7 NIV

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 6:7-10

Judges 6:7-2 Samuel : . A second writer (probably E) introduces a prophet who reproves Israel for disloyalty and ingratitude to Yahweh their God. The brief speech is a torso. Reflective rather than prophetic, it opens impressively, but ends abruptly, like a sermon without application; and then one of the main traditions begins. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Judges 6:1-10

ISRAEL’S RELAPSE INTO SIN, AND THEIR OPPRESSION BY THE MIDIANITES. Judges 6:1-10CRITICAL NOTES.— Judges 6:1. Did evil, etc.] Not continued to do evil, though that is implied (pp. 158, 186).

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

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Judges 6:1-40

Chapter 6So again the rest for forty days but then in chapter six,AND the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian for seven years. And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: because of the Midianites the children of Israel made themselves dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds.
