Judges 8:11

Judges 8:11

9 So he also spoke to the men of Penuel, saying, “When I ^acome back in peace, ^bI will tear down this tower!”

10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were at Karkor, and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand, all who were left of ^aall the army of the people of the East; for ^bone hundred and twenty thousand men who drew the sword had fallen.

11 Then Gideon went up by the road of those who dwell in tents on the east of ^aNobah and Jogbehah; and he attacked the army while the camp felt ^bsecure.

12 When Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued them; and he ^atook the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and routed the whole army.

13 Then Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle, from the Ascent of Heres.

<< Judges 8:10

Judges 8:12 >>

Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east—He tracked the fugitives across the mountain range of Gilead to the northeast of the Jabbok, and there came upon them unexpectedly while they were resting secure among their own nomadic tribes. Jogbehah is supposed to be Ramoth-gilead; and, therefore, the Midianites must have found refuge at or near Abela, "Abel-cheramim," "the plain of the vineyards."
