Definitions for Judges 7:14
Clarke's Judges 7:14 Bible Commentary
Into his hand hath God delivered Midian - This is a full proof that God had inspired both the dream and its interpretation.
Barnes's Judges 7:14 Bible Commentary
This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon - The word rendered tumbled in Judges 7:13, is rather descriptive of a sword brandished (compare Genesis 3:24). Hence, the interpretation "the sword of Gideon." Hearing this dream and the interpretation would convince Gideon that he was indeed under the guidance of God, and so assure him of God's aid; and secondly, it would show him that a panic had already fallen npon the mind of the enemy.
Wesley's Judges 7:14 Bible Commentary
7:14 His fellow answered, and c. - As there are many examples of significant dreams, given by God to Heathens, so some of them had the gift of interpreting dreams; which they sometimes did by divine direction as in this case.
