1. Then the men of Ephraim said unto him: Why hast thou done this unto us, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they chode with him sharply. 2 To whom he answered: What have I now done in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of grapes of Ephraim better, then the vintage of Abiezer? 3 God hath delivered into your hands the Princes of Midian, Horeb, and Zeeb: and what was I able to do, in comparison of you? And when he had thus spoken, then their spirits abated toward him.

1The Ephraites envied Gideon, because great glory redounded unto him by this battle. That Tribe was much more noble then the Tribe of Manasseh. For Jacob when he blessed the sons of Joseph, stretching out his hands preferred Ephraim which was the younger, before Manasseh, which otherwise was the first borne. Wherefore it is no marvel, if they now took it heinously, that they of Manasseh carried away the victory without their conduct.

Wherfore it is no maruail, if they now tooke it hainouslye, that they of Manasses caryed away the victory without their conduct.
