Jg 7:1,3. Gideon's encampment, where the 300 who drank the water from their hands were selected. The word Harod is played upon," whosoever is trembling (hared) let him return." Now Ain Jalud; the hill Moreh is Jebel Duhy, From it two of David's 37 warriors of the body guard are called each "the HARODITE," namely, SHAMMAH and ELIKA (2Sa 23:25).
Then Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) and all the people who were with him, rose early and camped beside the spring of Harod; and the camp of Midian was on the north side of them by the hill of Moreh in the valley.
"Now therefore come, proclaim in the hearing of the people, saying, 'Whoever is afraid and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.'" So 22,000 people returned, but 10,000 remained.
