Judges 6:13

6:13 Gideon said to him, “Pardon me, ¹  but if the Lord is with us, why has such disaster ²  overtaken us? Where are all his miraculous deeds our ancestors told us about? They said, ³  ‘Did the Lord not bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has abandoned us and handed us over to Midian.”

Judges 12:3

12:3 When I saw that you were not going to help, ⁴  I risked my life ⁵  and advanced against ⁶  the Ammonites, and the Lord handed them over to me. Why have you come up ⁷  to fight with me today?”

[6:13]  ² tn Heb “all this.”

[6:13]  ³ tn Heb “saying.”
