Commentators explain that after God's miraculous victory with 300 men, Gideon wisely called for reinforcements. He sent messengers to the tribe of Ephraim to secure the river fords, cutting off the Midianites' escape route. This shows that faith in God's power works alongside practical human strategy and planning.
