What Does Judges 7:21 Mean?
The three hundred do nothing but stand. Each man holds his place around the camp, and at the sudden blaze and blast the entire Midianite host runs, cries out, and flees in terror. The victory unfolds without Israel striking a single blow.
'They stood every man in his place' -- here is faith at rest in God's power. The work of routing the enemy is the Lord's; Israel's part is to stand firm where they were placed. There are battles God fights so completely that His people need only hold their ground and watch Him work. The panic that seizes the host comes not from Israel's might but from the hand of God, who turns the enemy's strength to confusion.
