     | 27,752 views

    God dedicated 57 verses to a wicked judge who ruled as king in Israel for about 3 years. Why would He do that? Is it possible the story of this evil man has something to us about how we should think as Christians?

    OPEN: In Clay County, Kentucky there was a judge named R. Cletus Maricle. He was one of the rare judges I could find online who had been permanently disbarred. You might ask: “Jeff, why was he disbarred?” I’m glad you asked. R. Cletus Maricle was disbarred because he and 7 other ...read more

    Gideon Prudently Pacifies The Offended Ephramites Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 20, 2019
     | 4,186 views

    They were angry with Gideon because they were left out and did not share in the glory. Gideon tactfully gave them the “soft answer” that healed the wounds and prevented division. Better to do that than to start another war.

    Chapter 27 Gideon Prudently Pacifies the Offended Ephramites [Judges 8.1-8.4] Scripture 1 And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites?

    Gideon thought they would not deny him since they had offered him a crown—they wanted him to be king over them—and so now was the best time to make the request: and the favor he asked was. . .

    Chapter 33 He Foolishly Gratified the Superstitious Humor of His People [Judges 8.24-8.27] Scripture: Judges 8:24-27 (KJV) 24 And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey.

     | 1,656 views

    The war having ended, Gideon disbanded his army, and retired to his own house; not that he lived altogether a private life there, but he continued as a judge in Israel, where he was successful in preserving and maintaining their religion and liberties.

     | 1,842 views

    The men of Midian would be hard-pressed to go back into Canaan for any reason because now they feared Gideon’s God; since they must have figured out by now that the annihilation of the entire host of Midian was the work of Jehovah.

    Chapter 29 He Bravely Pursues the Flying Midianites [Judges 8.10-12] Scripture 10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor with their army, about fifteen thousand men, all who were left of all the army of the people of the East; for there had fallen a hundred and twenty thousand men who drew ...read more
