Deus entregou nas vossas mos os prncipes dos midianitas, Orebe e Zeebe; que pude eu fazer comparvel com o que fizestes? Ento, com falar-lhes esta palavra, abrandou-se-lhes a ira para com ele.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb,.... A high honour this conferred upon you, and with which you may be well contented:
and what was I able to do in comparison of you? what he had done in defeating and pursuing the army of Midian, in slaying and taking any of them prisoners, was nothing in comparison of what they had done; nay, he signifies that he was not capable of doing anything worth mentioning without them; the glory of finishing this conquest was reserved for them:
then their anger was abated towards him when he had said that; it being what gratified their pride and was pleasing to them; and this conduct of Gideon showed him to be a wise and humble man.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 8:3. Then their anger was abated — A soft answer turneth away wrath. He might have said that he could place but little dependence on his brethren when, through faint-heartedness, 22,000 left him at one time; but he passed this by, and took a more excellent way.
