SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:18
Yo tocaré la trompeta y todos los que estarán conmigo; y vosotros tocaréis entonces las trompetas alrededor de todo el campamento, y diréis: ¡El SEÑOR y Gedeón!
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 7:18
Verse 18. The sword of the Lord, and of Gideon.] The word brj chereb, "sword," is not found in this verse, though it is necessarily implied, and is found in ver. 20. But it is found in this place in the Chaldee, Syriac, and Arabic, and in eight of Kennicott's and Deuteronomy Rossi's MSS. The reading appears to be genuine.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me , etc.] He being at the head of one of the three companies, ( Judges 7:19) perhaps the middlemost, which might stand for the body of the army; and the other two be one to the right and the other to the left of him, and so could more easily discover his motions: then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp ; for it seems they were so disposed as to be around the camp, which when the trumpets were blown at once on every side, with such a blaze of light, and crashing of the pitchers, must be very terrifying, as if there was no way for them to escape, and especially when they should hear the following dreadful sounds: and say, [the sword] of the Lord, and of Gideon ; or “for the Lord, and for Gideon”; and which may be supplied, either the light is for the Lord, and for Gideon; or the victory is for the Lord, and for Gideon; we supply it from ( Judges 7:20). The name Jehovah, these Heathens had often heard, as the God of Israel, would now be dreadful to them, and the name of Gideon also; whose name, as appears by the interpretation of the dream, was terrible among them; for which reason Gideon added it, and not out of arrogance and vanity; and puts it after the name of the Lord, as being only an instrument the Lord thought fit to make use of, otherwise all the glory belonged to him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 16-22 - This method of defeating the Midianites may be alluded to, a exemplifying the destruction of the devil's kingdom in the world, by the preaching of the everlasting gospel, the sounding that trumpet, an the holding forth that light out of earthen vessels, for such are the ministers of the gospel, 2Co 4:6, 7. God chose the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, a barley-cake to overthrow the tents of Midian, that the excellency of the power might be of God only. The gospel is a sword, not in the hand, but in the mouth: the sword of the Lord and of Gideon; of God and Jesus Christ, of Him that sits on the throne and the Lamb. The wicked are often led to avenge the cause of God upon each other, under the power of their delusions, and the fur of their passions. See also how God often makes the enemies of the church instruments to destroy one another; it is a pity that the church's friends should ever act like them.
