The first part of the Chapter.
TO begin with the first part, it is said, that the men of Ephraim contended 1sore with Gideon, and fell out with him, for that he called them not to the battle against the Midianites, as appeareth in the first verse: whereto the mild answer of Gideon is to be marked, which is set down in the second verse. And thirdly, how they were appeased by it, as we read in the third. Of these let us hear more particularly as they lie in order.
