Then the LORD said to Gideon, “With the three hundred men who lapped the water I will save you and deliver the Midianites into your hand. But all the others are to go home.”
Judges 7:7, Berean Standard Bible

Verse 2 gives the reason: Israel must not boast, "My own hand has saved me." The Hebrew verb yasha, to save, is the same word used for deliverance throughout Judges, and here the LORD claims the victory as his own.
