Answers to April 3 Questions
Who descended on Israel like a swarm of locusts? The Midianites
What did Israel do? Cry out to God
What was God’s response? He sent a prophet and explained why they were suffering
On whom did God call to save Israel? Gideon
Where was he when God called him? Threshing grain in the winepress to hide from the Midianites
How did he react when God said that He was with him? How can the Lord be with us since we are in so much trouble; what about all the good things He did for Israel in the past? He has left us to be oppressed by the Midianites
What did God command Gideon to do as a first step in building his courage? Tear down his father’s altar of Baal by using the second oldest bull in the herd; also tear down the Ashteroth pole and use it to burn the bull as a sacrifice on a new altar he is to make
What wise thing did his father say to those who were upset with Gideon? If Baal has any power, he can defend himself and his altar; anyone who fights for Baal would be put to death
What sign did Gideon request from God that Israel would win the battle? For there to be dew only on a fleece and dry everywhere else the next morning; on the next day, he wanted to see dew everywhere but the fleece be dry. This was actually a scientific approach
Why did God say that Gideon had too many soldiers? God would not get the glory for the victory; they may take it upon themselves
How did he reduce the number the first time? He let whoever was too afraid to fight to go home
How did he reduce the number of men the second time? The test was the manner in which they drank from the water source. Most drank by getting on their knees, putting their mouths down to the water to drink as most animals do. That is not a wise position to be in when you are in a battle zone! A minority drank by bringing water up to their mouths with their hand. It is not as efficient method of getting a drink, but these soldiers are more watchful.
How many men remained? 300
What did Gideon hear in the camp that encouraged him? He overheard two men talking about a dream one of them had and the other one explaining that the meaning of it is the victory of Gideon over all his enemies
What weapons did the Israelites use to attack the enemy? Trumpets and lanterns
Why were some from Ephraim upset with Gideon? Because they were not called to fight with him

Why did Jether not want to kill the two kings who killed his uncle? He was still very young
What did Israel want to do with Gideon after his victory? Make him a king
How did Gideon respond to Israel? He said neither he nor his son would rule over them; only the Lord rule over them

Who started a rebellion at Shechem? Abimelech, son of Gideon
Who escaped from being killed? Jotham
What parable did he give as a curse upon Shechem and Abimelech? How the trees wanted a king for themselves, but the noble olive, fig, and grapevine refused to be king; the no-good thornbush threatened to burn all the trees if they didn’t make him king; this applied to the foolish way in which they followed the evil Abimelech who killed all of Gideon’s son except him; fire from Abimelech would eventually consume them, and fire from them would consume Abimelech
Who turned Shechem against Abimelech? God sent an evil spirit; Gaal was the individual who moved in and rejected Abimilech
Who mortally wounded Abimelech? A woman by dropping a millstone on his head
