*“You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, in the middle of Ephraim, and in the middle of Manasseh.”* In other words, the other men of Ephraim had been shamed by the bravery and performance in battle of the Gileadites, so they patronized and scorned them. The Gileadites had held back from attacking these brethren until these words were hurled in their teeth: no longer. Scripture: [[Judges 12#^ef6a85]] #jot
