Compare all
20 Then the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers—they held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands for blowing—and they cried, “The sword of the Lord and of Gideon!”
21 And aevery man stood in his place all around the camp; band the whole army ran and cried out and fled.  
22 When the three hundred ablew the trumpets, bthe Lord set cevery man’s sword against his companion throughout the whole camp; and the army fled to1 Beth Acacia, toward Zererah, as far as the border of dAbel Meholah, by Tabbath.  
23 And the men of Israel gathered together from aNaphtali, Asher, and all Manasseh, and pursued the Midianites.  
24 Then Gideon sent messengers throughout all the amountains of Ephraim, saying, “Come down against the Midianites, and seize from them the watering places as far as Beth Barah and the Jordan.” Then all the men of Ephraim gathered together and bseized the watering places as far as cBeth Barah and the Jordan.  
25 And they captured atwo princes of the Midianites, bOreb and Zeeb. They killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they killed at the winepress of Zeeb. They pursued Midian and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the cother side of the Jordan.

Barnes' Notes
<< Judges 7:21   Judges 7:23 >>


Judges 7:22

Beth-shittah - - "House of the acacias," the same trees which gave their name to "Shittim" Numbers 33:49 in the plains of Maab, and which grew plentifully also, in the peninsula of Sinai Exodus 25:5 perhaps "Shuttah" , in the valley of Jezreel; or it may be another name of Scythopolis, or Beth-shan (compare I Kings 4:12). "Zererath or Zeredath" , near Succoth Judges 8:5, the same as "Zeredah" in Ephraim the birth-place of Jeroboam I Kings 11:26, and "Zartauah" I Kings 4:12. "Abel-meholah" (field of the dance), the birth-place of Elisha I Kings 19:16 is in the Jordan valley, 10 miles from Scythopolis, if identified with Bethmaela: if the same as Abelmea, it lay between Nablous and Scythopolis. (But see I Kings 19:16 note.) "Tabbath" was apparently lower down the Jordan valley, i. e. further south.
