This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jdg_8:3 God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.
Ver. 3. And what was I able to do in comparison of you?] He knew them to be ambitious, and therefore he doth little less than ascribe the victory to them. Yet he saith not, You have done all, and I little or nothing: for then they would have thought he had jeered them. Only he immindeth them of entitling God to all their achievements, when he saith here "God hath delivered into your hands," &c. This, these proud persons perhaps thought not of.
Then their anger was abated.] As it might well enough: for, like the waters of Shiloah at the foot of Zion, {Isa_8:6} which run softly, he made but small noise, though he heard great words.
