Gideon's Army Reduced
“Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.”

Commentary on Judges 7:1
Jerubbaal (Gideon) and his army camp at the spring of Harod, while the Midianites camp in the valley north of them by the hill of Moreh. The geographical positioning is strategic—Israel holds high ground near a water source while the enemy masses in the valley below. The name Harod (charod, חֲרֹד) derives from charad (חָרַד, 'to tremble'), foreshadowing verse 3's test. That Gideon is now called Jerubbaal emphasizes his transformation from fearful thresher to bold reformer. The contrast in army sizes (32,000 Israelites vs. 135,000 enemy per 8:10) sets up God's miraculous reduction strategy.
