Gideon goeth forward after the rest of the Midianites, and findeth them 1resting themselves in Carkor which was in the precinct of the Israelites, from whence they hoped to pass after that night, and so to escape. But Gideon came upon them on the backside of these two cities, Jogbeah in the Tribe of Gad, Numb. 32. and Nobah in the half Tribe of Manasseh being 2hard by, Num 22. And so the two Princes were suddenly stricken with astonishment and fear, and flying were taken, and the host smitten and slain: with whom were many hangbies, as scullions and such like that followed the army. And in that it is said, that he returned back with the two Princes when the Sun was risen, it appeareth that the war betwixt them was begun in the night, and in the same night was ended.
