Judges 8:1-3

New Century Version

8 The men of Ephraim asked Gideon, “Why did you treat us this way? Why didn’t you call us when you went to fight against Midian?” They argued angrily with Gideon.

² But he answered them, “I have not done as well as you! The small part you did was better than all that my people of Abiezer did. ³ God let you capture Oreb and Zeeb, the princes of Midian. How can I compare what I did with what you did?” When the men of Ephraim heard Gideon’s answer, they were not as angry anymore.
