The word “victory” is an abstract noun that can be translated as a verb or an adjective. Alternate translation: “for me to allow you to defeat the Midianites” or “for me to cause you to be victorious over the Midianites”

(Occurrence 0) Our own power has saved us
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to/towards Gidˊōn great//chief/captain the,troops which/who with,you for,give,me DOM Midyān in/on/at/with,hands,their lest boast over,me Yisrael to=say hand,my_own delivered to/for=me )
Here “power” represents the people themselves. Alternate translation: “We have saved ourselves without God’s help”
7:2 The Lord does not require a large force to save his people (cp. 1 Sam 14:6). A large number might even have hindered success because the element of surprise was crucial to the Lord’s battle plan. Gideon was to pare down the army to maintain godly humility, not for reasons of military strategy.
