22
When the 300 trumpets were blown, the Lord caused all of the men in the enemy camp to start fighting each other. They attacked each other with their swords. The army ran away to Beth Shittah toward Zererah. They ran all the way to the border of Abel Meholah near Tabbath.

Verse Explanation
When the three hundred men blew their trumpets, the Lord caused confusion among the Midianites. The enemy soldiers turned against one another and fled toward areas including Beth-shittah, Zererah, and the border of Abel-meholah near Tabbath. The mighty army that had terrified Israel collapsed because God caused disorder within their own ranks. This fulfilled God's promise that He would give Midian into Gideon's hands.
History
Abel-meholah was later known as the birthplace of the prophet Elisha.
