Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 12. - He discomfited. Rather, as in the margin, he terrified. Those who were not killed in the first onslaught, when "he smote the host," were so terrified that they fled without further resistance, and many probably escaped, as all Gideon's efforts were directed to the capture of the two kings. CHAPTER 8:13-21

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) When Zebah and Zalmunna fled.--In Psalm 83:13-14, we, perhaps, find a reminiscence of the precipitancy of their flight, "like a wheel," i.e., like a winged, rolling seed, and like stubble before a hurricane, and like a conflagration leaping through a mountain forest. (Dict. of Bible, s. v. Oreb; Stanley, i. 347.)Discomfited.--Rather, as in the margin, terrified. It was the infliction of a second panic which enabled him to seize the two principal Emirs.
