“Why didn’t you send for us when you first went out to fight the Midianites?” they demanded.
2-3 But Gideon replied, “God let you capture Oreb and Zeeb, the generals of the army of Midian! What have I done in comparison with that? Your actions at the end of the battle were more important than ours at the beginning!”[a] So they calmed down.
