Gideon said to him, Oh, my lord, if Yahweh is with us, why then has all this happened to us? and where are all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not Yahweh bring us up from Egypt? but now Yahweh has cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Midian.
Moreover, it was a prayer, as the margin puts it “﻿Jehovah, send peace.﻿” If you have peace with God, let your next prayer be, “﻿Lord, give peace to all thy people.﻿” “﻿Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.﻿” Work it, O holy Spirit of peace! Then ask for peace by conquest of an ungodly world for Jesus till the first Christmas carol shall be sung again, “﻿Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth, goodwill toward men.﻿”
