Judges 7:23 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

‘And the men of Israel were gathered together, out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.'

The enemy having been routed by Yahweh, the chase now began. The three hundred would be first in pursuit (Judges 8:4). The ten units in their tents would be the next to join the pursuit, followed by many more who would join them as messengers carried the news of the success. (Asher could hardly have joined in if they had not been still nearby. They would never have caught up).

Judges 7:23

23 And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites.
