In Judges 3:11, the same formula 'land had rest 40 years' appears after Othniel — showing the pattern of deliverance and peace under judges.

In Judges 3:30, the land had rest 80 years after Ehud — another instance of the same rest formula, comparing lengths of peace.

In Judges 5:31, the land had rest 40 years after Deborah — identical phrasing, linking Gideon's era to the earlier judge.

In Psalm 83:9-12, the defeat of Midian is recalled as a model for God's victory — directly referencing the same event that brought rest here.

In Isaiah 9:4, the breaking of Midian's yoke is celebrated as a past deliverance — the same victory that secured the 40-year rest.

In Isaiah 10:26, the slaughter at the rock of Oreb is mentioned — a specific detail from Gideon's victory over Midian (Judges 7:25).
