The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Et misit Dominus Jerobaal, et Badan, et Jephte, et Samuel, et eruit vos de manu inimicorum vestrorum per circuitum, et habitastis confidenter.
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τὸν Ἰεροβοὰμ καὶ τὸν Βαρὰκ καὶ τὸν Ἰεφθάε καὶ τὸν Σαμουήλ, καὶ ἐξείλατο ὑμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν τῶν κυκλόθεν· καὶ κατῳκεῖτε πεποιθότες.
Hebrew (WLC): וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח יְהוָה֙ אֶת יְרֻבַּ֣עַל וְאֶת בְּדָ֔ן וְאֶת יִפְתָּ֖ח וְאֶת שְׁמוּאֵ֑ל וַיַּצֵּ֨ל אֶתְכֶ֜ם מִיַּ֤ד אֹֽיְבֵיכֶם֙ מִסָּבִ֔יב וַתֵּשְׁב֖וּ בֶּֽטַח

Haydock's commentary

Jerobaal and Badan. That is, Gedeon and Samson, called here Badan or Bedan, because he was of Dan. (Challoner) (Chaldean, &c.) (Worthington)

Others think that Jair, (Judges x. 3.; Junius, Usher,) or, according to the Septuagint, "Barac," are designated. Jair was a descendant of one Bedan, 1 Paralipomenon ii. 21. (Calmet)

But we do not read that Jair performed any great exploit. (Haydock)

Samuel. He speaks of himself as of any other man: as the interests of God were not to be betrayed by an unseasonable modesty. (Calmet)

Josephus only specifies Jephte and Gedeon. (Haydock)

The Israelites thought that they could dispose things better than God had done under the judges; and hence their sin is so often repeated. (St. Gregory) (Worthington)
