Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Karkor: If this were the name of a place, it is no where else mentioned. Some contend that karkor signifies rest; and the Vulgate renders it requiescebant, "rested". This seems the most likely; for it is said - Judges 8:11 that Gideon "smote the host: for the host was secure."
children: Judges 7:12
fell an hundred: etc. or, an hundred and twenty thousand every one drawing a sword, Judges 7:22, Judges 20:2, Judges 20:15, Judges 20:17, Judges 20:25, Judges 20:35, Judges 20:46, 2 Kings 3:26, 2 Chronicles 13:17, 2 Chronicles 28:6, 2 Chronicles 28:8, Isaiah 37:36
Reciprocal: Genesis 29:1 - came Judges 6:3 - children Judges 6:5 - as grasshoppers Judges 6:33 - children Job 1:3 - men Isaiah 9:4 - as in the day Ezekiel 25:4 - men
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor..... Jerom u under this word says, there was in his time a castle called Carcuria, a day's journey from Petra, which was the metropolis of Idumea; but whether the same with this is not clear:
and their host with them, about fifteen thousand men; to which number Gideon and his three hundred men were very unequal; and yet, faint and weary as they were, closely pursued them, attacked and conquered them. Josephus w very wrongly makes this number to be about 18,000:
all that were left of the hosts of the children of the east; the Arabians, who with the Amalekites joined the Midianites in this expedition; and perhaps the remainder of the army chiefly consisted of Arabians, the others having mostly suffered in the valley of Jezreel, and at the fords of Jordan:
for there fell an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword; besides infirm men, women, and children, which may reasonably be supposed; so that this host consisted of 135,000 fighting men.
u De loc. Heb. fol. 90. B. w Antiqu. l. 5. c. 6. sect. 5.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Zebah and Zalmunna seem to have fled nearly due east to Karkor, which was probably an enclosure of some kind (perhaps a walled sheepfold, compare Numbers 31:32 note). Its site is unknown; but it was near Nobah, in the half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead Numbers 32:40, and Jogbehah was in the tribe of Gad Numbers 32:34-35. Gideon, perhaps taking a circuit so as to come upon them from the east, fell suddenly upon them, apparently at night, surprised them, and smote them.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 8:10. Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor — If this were a place, it is nowhere else mentioned in Scripture. Some contend that קרקר karkor signifies rest; and thus the Vulgate understood it: Zebah and Zalmunna requiescebant, rested, with all their army. And this seems the most likely, for it is said, Judges 8:11, that Gideon smote the host, for the host was secure.
