📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Judges, Gideon was a judge chosen by God to deliver the Israelites from the oppression of the Midianites, who had been raiding their lands. After a miraculous victory with a small army, Gideon pursued and defeated the Midianite kings, leading to the collection of spoils as a common practice in ancient warfare. These spoils, including golden earrings and other treasures, represented the wealth and status of the defeated enemies in the cultural context of the Near East.
