SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:9
¶ Y aconteció que aquella noche el SEÑOR le dijo: Levántate, y desciende al campamento; porque yo lo he entregado en tus manos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 7:9
Verse 9. I have delivered it into thine hand.] I have determined to do it, and it is as sure as if it were done.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. And it came to pass the same night that the Lord said to him , etc.] The night after there had been so great a reduction of his army, from 32,000 to three hundred: arise, get thee down unto the host, for I have delivered it into thine hands ; that is, go down from the hill where he and his little army were, to the valley of Jezreel, where lay the numerous host of Midian; assuring him, that though the disproportion was so very great, the army of Midian should be delivered into his hands; and it was enough that the Lord had said it, for him to believe it; but in such circumstances that he was, it is no wonder that he had his fears and misgivings of heart, wherefore it follows; Ver. 10 . But if thou fear to go down , etc.] With his little army, to attack a numerous host in the night, then he is directed to take this step first: go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host ; in a private manner; perhaps this man was his aid-de-camp, or however a trusty servant in whom he could confide, as well as valiant: more it was not proper to take in such a secret expedition, and the fewer the better to trust, and less liable to the observation of the enemy; and yet it was proper to have one with him, being company and animating, and who would be a witness with him of what should be heard; in like manner, and for like reasons, as Diomedes and Ulysses went into the Trojan army f150 .
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.
