SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:11
y oirás lo que hablan; y entonces tus manos se esforzarán, y descenderás al campamento. Y él descendió con Fura su criado al principio de la gente de armas que estaba en el campamento.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 7:11
Verse 11. Unto the outside of the armed men] No doubt the vast multitudes of Midianites, &c., which came merely for plunder, were wholly unarmed; but they had a guard of armed men, as all the caravans have, and those guards were on the outside of the multitudes; it was to these that Gideon and his servant came.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. And thou shalt hear what they shall say , etc.] The Midianites, or what shall be said by any of them; for though it was the night season, and so not a time for much conversation, as it may be supposed to be the dead of the night; yet something would be said and heard, which is a clear proof of the prescience of God respecting future contingent events: and afterwards shall thine hands be strengthened ; and his heart encouraged by what he should hear: to go down into the camp ; in an hostile manner, with his three hundred men, after his return to them: then went he down with Phurah his servant ; first privately, only they two, leaving his little army on the hill: and came unto the outside of the armed men that were in the host ; the sentinels, who were without side the camp, and stood complete in armour to guard it; and they came as near to them, in as still and private manner as they could, without being discovered. The Septuagint version is, “to the beginning of the fifty that were in the host;” and the Syriac and Arabic versions, “to the captain of the fifty;” these might be a party of the outer guards, consisting of fifty men, with one at the head of them, placed for the safety of the army in the night season, and to give notice of any approach to them, or attempt on them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-15 - The dream seemed to have little meaning in it; but the interpretatio evidently proved the whole to be from the Lord, and discovered that the name of Gideon had filled the Midianites with terror. Gideon took thi as a sure pledge of success; without delay he worshipped and praise God, and returned with confidence to his three hundred men. Wherever we are, we may speak to God, and worship him. God must have the praise of that which encourages our faith. And his providence must be acknowledged in events, though small and seemingly accidental.
