This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jdg_7:22 And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man’s sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, [and] to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath.
Ver. 22. And the Lord set every man’s sword against his fellow.] For being smitten by God with a spirit of giddiness, they took their friends for their foes: and, like those terrigenae fratres, they slaughtered one another in the place. See the like, 1Sa_14:15-20 2Ch_20:23.
And the host fled to Bethshittah, &c.] Places unknown to us out of Scripture, save only Abelmeholah, {a} which was in the half tribe of Manasseh within Canaan, {1Ki_4:12} and so, likely, were the rest. But whithersoever they fled, in running from death they ran to it.
{a} This Abelmeholah was afterwards the habitation of the prophet Elisha. {1Ki_19:16}
