Judges 7:21 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Ran, and cried, and fled. — They ran about to discover the meaning of the trumpet-blast. Their “cries” were either the wail of despair (Vulg., ululantes), or a number of confused shouts and words of command (LXX., esêmainan); their flight would be a natural result of the hopeless terror and confusion which prevailed. The word, however, in the Kethibh, or written text, is yanîsoo, which means “caused to fly” — i.e., “carried off their tents,” &c.

Judges 7:21

21 And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.
