Aim: To conquer every ''king'' set up against King Jesus.
Doctrine: God would have us, His church, conquer ''kings'' for Christ's glory. Christians always face mighty foes that must be brought down; otherwise, we suffer under their oppression.
Exegesis: Three stages in our conquering of kings: first, our pursuit of them must be relentless (vv. 10-12); then, our display of them vindicates God's grace (vv. 13-17); finally, our slaying of them exalts the true God (vv. 18-21).
Further application: How the church is to succeed at conquering kings: we must be doggedly determined to win (in Christ), and we must be zealously aiming for the right goal.
Key verse: v. 21 ''So Zebah and Zalmunna said, 'Rise yourself, and kill us; for as a man is, so is his strength.' So Gideon arose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescent ornaments that were on their camels' necks.''
