25. Judges 8:22 – 32
The latter part of Judges chapter 8 is a sad commentary on an otherwise good man and judge of Israel – Gideon. Though he claimed he did not want to be king – that God should rule over Israel – his actions said otherwise. Gideon became guilty of idolatry, and also violated the laws of God relative to marriage. His fall is yet another reminder that the best of God’s people can fall out of favor with God, and it behooves us constantly to evaluate our lives considering such.
