Verse 3 is found in chapter 8 of Judges. The men of Ephraim reproach Gideon for not calling them from the beginning. Gideon responds diplomatically, emphasizing that Ephraim’s gleaning has been greater than Abiezer’s initial harvest. His response prevents an immediate rupture. The episode shows that after an external victory, Israel must still manage internal tribal rivalries.
