Judges 8:12 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 8:12

And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled
Their host being smitten and thrown into confusion by the sudden approach of Gideon's army; and who probably attacked them in somewhat like manner as before, blowing their trumpets, and calling out the sword of the Lord and of Gideon; which were such terrifying sounds to them, that they fled at once:

he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and
Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host;
or terrified them, so that they fled some one way and some another, and the kings being left alone were easily taken.
