Matthew Poole and continuators on Judges 8:1

AND the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? and they did chide with him sharply.

Why hast thou neglected and despised us, in not calling us in to thy help, as thou didst other Tribes? These were a proud people, Isa. 11. 13. puffed up with a conceit of their Number and Strength, and the preference which Iacob by Divine direction gave them above Manasseh, Gen. 48. 19, 20. of which Tribe Gideon was, who by this act had seemed to advance his own Tribe, and to depress theirs.
