The angel of Yahweh came, and sat under the oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained to Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.
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.﻿”
