Judges 3:20

3:20 I have a message from God for you. The secret message of v. 19 here becomes a divine message. It was not a false word, but the true word of God working against the same rod raised up by God to punish His people (v. 12 note). Eglon was useful as a tool of God’s wrath against Israel, but now that wrath comes back upon him.
