Judges7:22
22 And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every mans sword against his fellow , even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Beth-shittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abel-meholah , unto Tabbath.
They slew one another, either because they suspected Treachery, and so fell upon those they first met with; which they might more easily do, because they consisted of several Nations, as may be gathered from Iudg. 6. 3. and Iosephus affirms; or because the darkness of the night made them unable to distinguish Friends from Foes; or, because the suddenness of the thing struck them with Horror and Amazement; or, because God infatuated them, as he hath done many others. Compare 1 Sam. 14. 20. 2 Chron. 20. 23.
Of which see 1 King. 4. 12. and 19. 16.
