Judges 7:21-23
New English Translation

21 They stood in order[a] all around the camp. The whole Midianite[b] army ran away; they shouted as they scrambled away.[c] 22 When the 300 men blew their trumpets, the Lord caused the Midianites to attack one another with their swords[d] throughout[e] the camp. The army fled to Beth Shittah on the way to Zererah. They went[f] to the border of Abel Meholah near Tabbath. 23 Israelites from Naphtali, Asher, and Manasseh answered the call and chased the Midianites.[g]
