Judges 7:20

‘And they stood every man in his place around the camp, and all the host ran about, and they shouted and put them to flight.'

The courage needed by these men was immense. Had they been discovered they would probably have died instantly, or even worse. But they stood in their place, blew their ram's horns, waved their torches and yelled their warcry. And they succeeded. The enemy ran about, totally disorganised, broke up and fled for safety from the ‘pursuing hordes', which were, in fact, all in their minds. Many of their camels would be left behind. The tendency would be not to bother about them. Life was at stake and they would not be thinking clearly.
