Judges 6:15 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

And I am the least in my father's house— Thus God is often pleased to choose the weak things of the world to confound the strong. But the humility of those who know their own weakness, and confide in his strength, will never be any obstacle to their obtaining the victory over every enemy. Happy the man who, with Gideon, confesses himself least in his own sight! he shall be blessed with that encouraging promise of the Lord, surely I will be with thee, Judges 6:16. We need not point out the similarity of circumstances between the conduct of Gideon and that of Abraham on the like occasion. Genesis 18.
