A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
if the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us?--Gideon's language betrays want of reflection, for the very chastisements God had brought on His people showed His presence with, and His interest in, them. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The extreme bitterness of the national sufferings under the Midianite occupation breaks out in Gideon's language. The Angel's words, suitable to times of prosperity, seemed to be a mockery, when it was evident the Lord was not with them. (Compare Deu 31:17.) |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
With us - The angel had said, Peace be with Thee: but he expostulates for All: herding himself with all Israel, and admitting no comfort, but what they might be sharers in. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
And Gideon said unto him - This speech is remarkable for its energy and simplicity; it shows indeed a measure of despondency, but not more than the circumstances of the case justified. |
17 Then my anger [0639] shall be kindled [02734] against them in that day [03117], and I will forsake [05800] them, and I will hide [05641] my face [06440] from them, and they shall be devoured [0398], and many [07227] evils [07451] and troubles [06869] shall befall [04672] them; so that they will say [0559] in that day [03117], Are not these evils [07451] come [04672] upon us, because our God [0430] is not among [07130] us?
