Commentary on Judges 8:11

Theological / Devotional

By the way of them. Instead of following the route the Midianites had gone, Gideon and his group approached their camp by a circuitous route through a region settled sparsely with nomadic Bedouins. By this wide circuit he was enabled to fall upon them unawares from a direction from which they did not expect attack.

Nobah. The exact location of this town is unknown. Some identify this Nobah with the town of the same name mentioned in Num. 32:42 as a city of Manasseh.

Jogbehah. A city of Gad (Num. 32:35) regarded as the rain now called Jubeihat, 6 1/2 mi. (10.4 km.) northwest of Amman, and about 18 1/2 mi. (29.6 km.) southeast of Succoth.
