SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:4
¶ Y vino Gedeón al Jordán para pasar, él y los trescientos hombres que traía consigo, cansados del alcance.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 8:4
Verse 4. Faint, yet pursuing] The Vulgate paraphrases this, et prae lassitudine, fugientes persequi non poterant; "and, through fatigue, unable to pursue the fugitives."
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 4. And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over . etc.] That river; (see Gill on “ Judges 7:25”) he and three hundred men that were with him, at the defeat of the Midianites in the valley of Jezreel; so that neither at that nor in the pursuit of them hitherto, had he lost one man: faint, yet pursuing [them] : they were faint with being up all night, and continually blowing their trumpets; and had been upon the pursuit of their enemies ever since the defeat; and yet, though they were so faint, they did not leave off the pursuit, but were eager at it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 4-12 - Gideon's men were faint, yet pursuing; fatigued with what they ha done, yet eager to do more against their enemies. It is many a time the true Christian's case, fainting, and yet pursuing. The world knows but little of the persevering and successful struggle the real believe maintains with his sinful heart. But he betakes himself to that Divin strength, in the faith of which he began his conflict, and by the supply of which alone he can finish it in triumph.
