Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(13) Oh my Lord.--The title is here only one of courtesy (adoni, like kurie; "sir" in John 20:19, &c.),for Gideon only saw in the angel a stranger seated beneath the terebinth which overshadowed the rock-hewn wine-vat in which he was working.Why then is all this befallen us?--See Deuteronomy 31:17 : "Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?" The words "all this" sound like an echo of Gideon's gloomy thoughts--the thoughts of his country and his brothers, which had been darkening his soul amid his hard toil. "A mighty indication of God's favour to me that I am forced to use this wine-press instead of a threshing-floor" (Jos.).Where be all his miracles?--See Psalm 78:12; Psalm 89:49.The Lord hath forsaken us.--See Psalm 13:1; 2Chronicles 15:2 : "If ye forsake him, he will forsake you." . . .
