• They had no sense of the unity of the people. Gilead made of himself a party. The authority and guidance of the Spirit of God were but little known, for they said: "What man is he?"

How widely different was this from the call of Gideon. (“Fresh Declension and Fresh Revivals: a Fresh Revival in Israel: Judges 10:6-18” by H.L. Rossier)
