Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Judges 7:7

_ _ the Lord said, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you — It is scarcely possible to conceive a more severe trial than the command to attack the overwhelming forces of the enemy with such a handful of followers. But Gideon’s faith in the divine assurance of victory was steadfast, and it is for this he is so highly commended (Hebrews 11:32).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Judges 7:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Judges 7:7

His own place — That is, to his own home. By this farther distinction it was proved, that none should be made use of, but, Men that were hardy, that could endure fatigue, without complaining of thirst or weariness: Men that were hasty, that thought it long, 'till they were engaged with the enemy, and so just wetted their mouth and away, not staying for a full draught. Such as these God chuses to employ, that are not only well affected, but zealously affected to his work.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Judges 7:7
