📖🕯 Holy Bible - Judges 8 with Matthew Henry Commentary at the end.

📖 This chapter is about: Gideon pacifies the Ephraimites, Succoth and Penuel refuse to relieve Gideon, Succoth and Penuel punished, Gideon avenges his brethren, Gideon declines the government, but given occasion for idolatry, Gideon's death, Israel's ingratitude.

🕯 How does this apply today?: "Gideon stands here as a great example of self-denial; and shows us that envy is best removed by humility." ~ Matthew Henry

📖 About the book: The book of Judges is the history of Israel during the government of the Judges, who were occasional deliverers, raised up by God to rescue Israel from their oppressors, to reform the state of religion, and to administer justice to the people. The state of God's people does not appear in this book so prosperous, nor their character so religious, as might have been expected; but there were many believers among them, and the tabernacle service was attended to. The history exemplifies the frequent warnings and predictions of Moses, and should have close attention. The whole is full of important instruction.
