Commentary on Judges 8:30

Theological / Devotional

Many wives. This harem is an evidence of Gideon’s wealth and power. Polygamy on a large scale was adopted only by rulers or the extremely wealthy. The description of Gideon’s family as related here (vs. 30, 31) is given to provide the background for the series of events that follow (ch. 9).
