3:1 Now these [are] the nations which the LORD left, to prove
    Israel by them, [even] as many [of Israel] as had not known

        power of man.

Jud 3:2

     sight of the LORD.

     (g) So that the enemies of God's people have no power over
         them, but by God's appointment.

     [were] by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto

         regards, when he will get the victory.
