9 During that night the Lord said to Gideon, "Get up, go down against the camp, because I am going to give it into your hands.
9 And it came to pass the same night, that the Lord said unto him, Arise, get thee down unto the host; for I have delivered it into thine hand.
9 That same night the Lord said to him, "Arise, go down against the camp, for I have given it into your hand.
9 That night, God told Gideon: "Get up and go down to the camp. I've given it to you.
9 It happened on the same night that the Lord said to him, "Arise, go down against the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand.
9 That night the Lord said, "Get up! Go down into the Midianite camp, for I have given you victory over them!
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Judges 7:9
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.
