Judges 6:35, 1 Samuel 14:21, 1 Samuel 14:22
Reciprocal: Deuteronomy 32:30 - one chase 1 Samuel 17:52 - the men of Israel 1 Kings 20:21 - went out
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the men of Israel gathered themselves together,.... Not out of all the tribes, but out of those which lay nearest, and which are particularly mentioned:
out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh: and these seem to be the same persons out of those tribes who first joined Gideon, but were separated from his army; both those that were fearful, and those that bowed their knees to drink, and who perhaps had not gone far before they heard of the defeat and flight of the Midianites; and therefore though they had not courage to face the enemy, at least most of them, yet had spirit enough to pursue a flying enemy; wherefore they returned, or however directed their course the nearest way, where they supposed they fled:
and pursued after the Midianites; and those that were with them.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 7:23. The men of Israel gathered — It is very likely that these were some persons whom Gideon had sent home the day before, who now hearing that the Midianites were routed, went immediately in pursuit.
