Contextual Overview
16And he divided the three hundred men into three companies and gave each man a trumpet in one hand and a large jar in the other, containing a torch. 17"Watch me and do as I do," Gideon said. "When I come to the outskirts of the camp, do exactly as I do.18When I and all who are with me blow our trumpets, then you are also to blow your trumpets from all around the camp and shout, 'For the LORD and for Gideon!'" 19Gideon and the hundred men with him reached the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just after the changing of the guard. They blew their trumpets and broke the jars that were in their hands. 20The three companies blew their trumpets and shattered their jars. Holding the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands, they shouted, "A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!" 21Each Israelite took his position around the camp, and the entire Midianite army fled, crying out as they ran. 22And when the three hundred trumpets sounded, the LORD set the swords of every man in the camp against each other. The army fled to Beth-shittah toward Zererah as far as the border of Abel-meholah near Tabbath.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he said unto them, look on me, and do likewise,.... Observe what I do, and do the same, in blowing a trumpet, breaking a pitcher, and shouting with the words expressed by him:
and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp; where the sentinels stood, and the watch was set:
it shall be, that as I do, so shall ye do; and not before; a trumpet was not to be blown, nor a pitcher broken, nor a torch held out, nor a word spoken, till just they came to the outside of the camp: and then they were to observe the motions of Gideon, and do as he did.
