Psalms 78:9-10. The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
These men of Ephraim were adept with bow and arrow. Furthermore, they had sufficient hardware to handle the enemy's attack.
They possessed both skill and supplies in abundance . . .
but you couldn't tell it!
On the "day of battle" (that is, the first day of battle) they "turned back."
Like foxes hunted by hounds, they ran.
The sound of battle made them as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
Although well-armed and capable with their weapons, they lacked in steadfastness. On the surface they were a highly-polished, impressive-looking, rugged company of muscular men. They were as good as any army, yet they turned back.
What an indictment!
They were equipped with the finest weapons of the day, and they had Gods promise to help them drive out the Canaanites…
YET
They turned back in the day of battle…
