It was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation of it, that he worshiped; and he returned into the camp of Israel, and said, Arise; for Yahweh has delivered into your hand the host of Midian.
"For Jehovah and for Gideon"  (Judges 7:18).  Some versions have "The sword of Jehovah and of Gideon," but, "There is no word for `sword' in the Hebrew text."[15]  However, it appears from  Judges 7:14,19 that Gideon's men were indeed armed with swords.  Hervey suggested that the battle-cry was abbreviated in these words.  It is significant that Jehovah's name is mentioned ahead of Gideon's name.  In the strictest sense, the victory belonged to Jehovah, not to Gideon.
