What does Judges 7:9 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Judges 7:9-10

Jud 7:9-15. He Is Encouraged by the Dream and the Interpretation of the Barley Cake.

9-10. Arise, get thee down unto the host ... But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant--In ancient times it was reckoned no degradation for persons of the highest rank and character to act as spies on an enemy's camp; and so Gideon did on this occasion. But the secret errand was directed by God, who intended that he should hear something which might animate his own valor and that of his troops.

Adam Clarke's Commentary
Verse 9 I have delivered it into thine hand - I have determined to do it, and it is as sure as if it were done.

Adam Clarke, 1831 · public domain

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Judges 7:9-15
The dream seemed to have little meaning in it; but the interpretation evidently proved the whole to be from the Lord, and discovered that the name of Gideon had filled the Midianites with terror. Gideon took this as a sure pledge of success; without delay he worshipped and praised God, and returned with confidence to his three hundred men. Wherever we are, we may speak to God, and worship him. God must have the praise of that which encourages our faith. And his providence must be acknowledged in events, though small and seemingly accidental.
