“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.”
When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then you also blow the trumpets around the whole camp, and shout, "A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!"' — The battle cry 'A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!' establishes the motivational framing: military victory serves God's purposes, not merely Gideon's glory. The invocation of God's name first indicates proper theological prioritization.
