Judges8:2
2 And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you ? is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer ?
What was done, was done by Gods immediate hand, making them one to kill another; what I have done in cutting off some of the Fugitive common Soldiers, is not to be compared with your Exploit in destroying their Princes; I began the War, but you have finished.
What you have gleaned or done after me.
i. e. Of the Abiezrites, to whom he modestly communicateth the honour of the Victory, and doth not arrogate it to himself, as Generals commonly do.
