Commentary
Judges chapter 6 is a pivotal chapter in the book of Judges, as it marks the beginning of the story of Gideon. This chapter begins with the Israelites once again turning away from God and worshipping false idols. As a result, God sends the Midianites to oppress them for seven years. In response, the Israelites cry out to God for help.
