Judges 8:34 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 8:34

And the children of Israel remembered not the Lord their God,
&c.] Or, as the Targum, the worship of the Lord their God; they forgot him, and forsook him, which showed base ingratitude:

who had delivered them out of the hands of their enemies on every side;
not only out of the hands of Midian, but all other nations round about them, as Edom, Moab, Ammon not one attempting to oppress them.

33 As soon as Gideon died, the people of Israel were again unfaithful to God and followed the Baals. They made Baal-Berith their god.
34 The Israelites did not remember the Lord their God, who had saved them from all their enemies living all around them.
