Commentary on Judges 7:8
After the 9,700 are sent home to their tents, the 300 retain the people's provisions and trumpets. This logistical detail is strategically significant—the 300 now possess food supplies for the entire original army and 300 trumpets (or potentially 10,000 if all were collected). The abundance of supplies and trumpets will enable the psychological warfare strategy revealed in verses 16-22. The statement 'the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley' emphasizes the tactical situation—Israel holds high ground with all necessary resources while the enemy camps below.
