They said:<br /><br />"Rule over us—you, your son and your grandson—because you have saved us from the hand of Midian.”<br /><br />His rather Cincinattian response was:<br /><br />"I will not rule over you, nor will my son rule over you. The Lord will rule over you."<br /><br />He asked instead for a share of everyone's Midianite plunder, then he had 70 children with a bunch of wives and concubines during the peace he ushered in.<br /><br />Gideon's virtue (at least in turning down kingship) and God's grace were wasted on the Israelites who soon after Gideon's death once again turned their backs on God (worshiping Baal instead) and Gideon's family.A Texas Libertarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02980539931923054404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-58727255222443734032016-06-16T18:58:38.064-07:002016-06-16T18:58:38.064-07:00Spot on as usual!
