Prior Studies:
There is another I think is equally as interesting. The story is the Book of Job. Please consider:
Job 42:7 It came about after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken of Me what is right as My servant Job has.
Something to meditate on.
Thanks Much I always have enjoyed this story of the bible...
God said, "No Gideon. It is still too many." They were put to the test until the army was whittled down to three hundred men. And, with three hundred men, God delivered the nation (Judges 7:2ff).
