I am finding the book of judges to be very meaningful and captivating. I want a little bit more understanding in regards to " And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.". Did God see that if he were to give the Medians over to Isreal who obviously were in greater numbers after the battle would Isreal become arrogant in ways and may become like their oppressors? Please advise..I am learning the bible whenever I can and I need a little more understanding on breaking terms down..Thanks
