Lalu berkatalah orang-orang Efraim kepada Gideon: "Apa macam perbuatanmu ini terhadap kami! Mengapa engkau tidak memanggil kami, ketika engkau pergi berperang melawan orang Midian?" Lalu mereka menyesali dia dengan sangat.
Hata, maka pada masa itu berkata orang-orang Efrayim kepada Gideon demikian: Apakah perbuatanmu akan kami ini, maka tiada engkau memanggil kami tatkala engkau berangkat hendak memerangi orang Midian? Maka berbantah-bantahlah mereka itu sangat dengan dia.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the men of Ephraim said unto him,.... To Gideon, when they brought him the heads of Oreb and Zeeb; taking this to be a proper opportunity to expostulate and chide with him, when they had done so much service:
why hast thou served us thus; neglected them, overlooked them, which they took as a reproach to them, and as if he had bore them ill will:
that thou calledst us not when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? that he did not call them first, when he called other tribes, as Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali, when they were as near or nearer, and more nearly allied, being both the descendants of Joseph; and were the tribe that Jacob had given the preference to; and being of proud spirits they envied the glory that Gideon, who was of the tribe of Manasseh, had got; and by which they were jealous he would advance that tribe above theirs:
and they did chide with him sharply; used rough words and ill language, and threw out many keen and biting expressions, which discovered great anger and wrath, envy and ill will.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The success of Gideon’s enterprise mortified the pride of Ephraim, as the chief tribe, seeing that they had played a subordinate part. Compare Judges 12:1.

NOTES ON CHAP. VIII
Verse Judges 8:1. The men of Ephraim said — This account is no doubt displaced; for what is mentioned here could not have taken place till the return of Gideon from the pursuit of the Midianites; for he had not yet passed Jordan, Judges 8:4. And it was when he was beyond that river that the Ephraimites brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to him, Judges 7:25.
