Judges 6:7 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 6:7

And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the
Lord, because of the Midianites.
] Because of their oppressions and ill usage of them, and not because of their sins, which had brought those evils on them, of which, at present, they seemed not to be sensible; and yet such was the goodness and compassion of God to them, that having a mind to deliver them, he immediately, on their crying to him, sends them a messenger to bring them to a sense of their sins, and prepare them for the deliverance he designed to work for them, as follows.
