This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jdg_6:27 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said unto him: and [so] it was, because he feared his father’s household, and the men of the city, that he could not do [it] by day, that he did [it] by night.
Ver. 27. Then Gideon took ten men of his servants.] Who were religious as himself in those corrupt times, and yielded to run the same hazard with him. So that devout centurion had a "devout soldier waiting upon him." {Act_10:7} He "feared God with all his house." {Act_10:2}
That he did it by night.] In executing God’s commands that cannot be done without danger, it is not unlawful to go the wisest way to work, and to proceed in a prudential manner; yea, it is Et licitum et laude dignum, both lawful and commendable.
