Presently after the death of Deborah, Midian oppressed 1Israel: and though Gideon, a mighty man of valour, was in the first year of their oppression (otherwise there could not be forty years in his 2days) by the Lord in special manner called to the government, and had the Lords promise, that he should save Israel from the hands of the Midianites: yet until the seven years oppression (which God 3had appointed) were finished, and until the spirit of the Lord came upon him, he did not deliver them.
