SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:33
¶ Y todos los madianitas, y amalecitas, y orientales, se juntaron a una, y pasando asentaron campamento en el valle de Jezreel.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 6:33
Verse 33. Then all the Midianites] Hearing of what Gideon had done, and apprehending that this might be a forerunner of attempts to regain their liberty, they formed a general association against Israel.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 33. Then all the Midianites, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east , etc.] The Arabians, ( Judges 6:3) were gathered together; not as being alarmed with this fact of Gideon in destroying the altar of Baal, and so came to avenge it; but it was their usual time of gathering together to come into Canaan, being harvest time, as appears by Gideon being employed in threshing, to fetch away the increase of the earth, as they had done for some years past: and went over ; the river Jordan, which lay between the Midianites and the Israelites: and pitched in the valley of Jezreel ; a very large, delightful, and fruitful plain; of which (see Gill on “ Hosea 1:5”); a very proper place for such a large number to pitch on, and from whence they might receive much; and a suitable place to bring the increase of the land to, from the several parts of it, which was the business they came upon; and as this lay on the borders of Issachar and Manasseh, it was not far from Gideon, and this gave him an opportunity of exerting himself, and executing his commission.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 33-40 - These signs are truly miraculous, and very significant. Gideon and his men were going to fight the Midianites; could God distinguish between small fleece of Israel, and the vast floor of Midian? Gideon is made to know that God could do so. Is Gideon desirous that the dew of Divin grace might come down upon himself in particular? He sees the fleec wet with dew to assure him of it. Does he desire that God will be a the dew to all Israel? Behold, all the ground is wet. What cause we sinners of the Gentiles have, to bless the Lord that the dew of heavenly blessings, once confined to Israel, is now sent to all the inhabitants of the earth! Yet still the means of grace are in differen measures, according to the purposes of God. In the same congregation one man's soul is like Gideon's moistened fleece, another like the dr ground __________________________________________________________________
