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. And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they... read more

Judges 6:25-32Throw down the altar of Baal.Baal’s altar destroyed1. Observe God’s command to Gideon. He had been hitherto protesting against the idolatry of his family and country by a life of opposition, inasmuch as it was a life of humble, pious fear, and love of Jehovah, and of the worship of Him as the true God. But now he is commanded to perform an act of opposition. Gideon is to destroy Baal’s altar before he builds God’s; the same altar will not do: God will have no polluted sacrifice;... read more

Judges 6:33The Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east.The victory over the MidianitesThe mind of man is by nature like two hostile camps.

Impossible though it may be to acquit Gideon of unreasonableness, in demanding farther proofs of the certainty wherewith he might rely on the presence and blessing of the Lord on his perilous undertaking, we cannot deny that he displayed at the same time a becoming and praiseworthy concern lest he should be deserted of Him.2.
