What Does Judges 7:23 Mean?
With the enemy in flight, the tribes rally. Men of Naphtali, Asher, and all Manasseh come together to chase the fleeing Midianites. The ones earlier sent home now return for the pursuit, joining in the completion of what God began.
Once the Lord wins the decisive turn, there is still work for His people to do in following it through. The victory is His, yet He invites Israel to share in carrying it forward. So it often is: God breaks the power of the enemy, and then calls His people to take up the pursuit. The gathering of the tribes shows that deliverance, begun by God's hand alone, draws His people together in glad and united obedience.
