  2. Exposition

What does the speed with which the men from Naphtali, Asher, and Manasseh respond suggest?

Judges 7:23 (ESV)

23 And the men of Israel were called out from Naphtali and from Asher and from all Manasseh, and they pursued after Midian.

It “suggests that the 22,000 of verse 3 and the 9,700 of verse 8 had not dispersed completely, and that many of them were still relatively close at hand.”1
