Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [4]
Secure . To be secure, in the language of AV [Note: Authorized Version.] , does not mean to be free from danger; it means not to anticipate danger. Thus, Judges 8:11 ‘Gideon smote the host, for the host was secure.’ The vb. ‘to secure’ occurs in Matthew 28:14 ‘And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you,’ where the Greek means literally make you free from care, i.e. make it all right for you.
