Read Judges 7.15-8.3
In 7.15-8.3: Victory over Midian.
In verse 16: The torches remain inside the jars to preserve the element of surprise.
In verse 19: The beginning of the middle watch is a psychologically appropriate moment to attack.
In verses 21-22: The result is panic, the classic weapon of the divine warrior (4.15).
This victory became a proverbial example (Ps 83.9-11; Isa 9.4).
In 8. 1-2: The Ephraimites resent being left out of the original summons (6.35; 7.23), but Gideon responds wisely with a soothing compliment: the dregs of Ephraim are better than the very best of my clan has to offer.
