Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Judges 8:28

_ _ Judges 8:28. Midian subdued.

_ _ Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel — This invasion of the Arab hordes into Canaan was as alarming and desolating as the irruption of the Huns into Europe. It was the severest scourge ever inflicted upon Israel; and both it and the deliverance under Gideon lived for centuries in the minds of the people (Psalms 83:11).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Judges 8:22-28.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Lifted up their head — That is, recovered not their former strength or courage, so as to conquer or oppress others. Forty years — To the fortieth year, from the beginning of the Midianitish oppression. The days, &c. — As long as Gideon lived.
