Now followeth another thing mentioned in this verse, that is, when the 1most of them were slain, the Israelites with Gideon pursued and followed after the rest: where note his wisdom in foreseeing and preventing danger to come. When he had scattered them, they might have gotten strength again afterward, and so have troubled them as before, (as another Jabin King of Canaan arose) which he prevented. And in war this is meet to be 2done against the enemies both bodily and spiritual. Satan being thrown out, laboureth, as our Saviour saith, to enter in again. This is also necessary ⟨p. 375⟩3in every calling, to be provident to keep away danger by wants and oppression concerning both body and soul.
