God's Past Victories, Future Hope

Commentators explain that the verse references two of Israel's most famous victories: Gideon's defeat of Midian and the drowning of the Egyptian army. By invoking these past events, God promises that His judgment on the Assyrians will be just as complete and miraculous, assuring His people that He has a history of delivering them from impossible situations.
