Definitions for Judges 6:12
Clarke's Judges 6:12 Bible Commentary
The Lord is with thee - "The Word of the Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valor." - Targum. It appears that Gideon had proved himself, on former occasions, to be a man of courage and personal prowess; and this would naturally excite the confidence of his countrymen. God chooses for his work those instruments which, in the course of his operations in nature and providence, he has qualified for his purpose. The instruments thus chosen are generally unlikely, but they will be ever found the best qualified for the Divine employment.
Barnes's Judges 6:12 Bible Commentary
Thou mighty man of valor - Known to God to be such, though as yet not known to be such either by himself or his countrymen (compare Luke 1:28, Luke 1:30).
Wesley's Judges 6:12 Bible Commentary
6:12 Is with thee - That is, will assist thee against thine enemies.Man of valour - To whom I have given strength and courage for this end.
