Psalms 106:40

GOD'S ANGER WITH HIS PEOPLE

"Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah

kindled against his people,

And he abhorred his inheritance.

And he gave them into the hands of nations;

And they that hated them ruled over them.

Their enemies also oppressed them,

And they were brought into subjection under their hand.

Many times did he deliver them;

But they were rebellious in their counsel,

And were brought low in their iniquity."

The "many times" of Psalms 106:43, here, suggests that it was during the tumultuous period of the Judges that these frequent deliveries occurred.

Great heroes like Samson and Gideon were among the instruments of God's deliverances during that period.
