Judges7:18

18 When I blow with a trumpet, I, and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon .

He mentions his own Name, together with Gods, not out of vain ostentation or arrogance, as if he would equal himself with God; for he mentions God in the first and chief place, and himself onely as his Minister; but from prudent Policy, because his Name was grown formidable to them, and so was likely to further his Design, and their Fight, as it did.

Marginal references: Heb. for the LORD and Gideon.
