10 But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host:
10 If you are afraid to attack, go down to the camp with your servant Purah
10 But if you are afraid to go down, go down to the camp with Purah your servant.
10 If you have any doubts about going down, go down with Purah your armor bearer;
10 But if you are afraid to go down, go down to the camp with Purah your servant,
10 But if you are afraid to attack, go down to the camp with your servant Purah.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Judges 7:10
Commentary on Judges 7:9-15
(Read Judges 7:9-15)
The dream seemed to have little meaning in it; but the interpretation evidently proved the whole to be from the Lord, and discovered that the name of Gideon had filled the Midianites with terror. Gideon took this as a sure pledge of success; without delay he worshipped and praised 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.
