Karkor: If this were the name of a place, it is no where else mentioned. Some contend that karkor signifies rest; and the Vulgate renders it requiescebant, "rested". This seems the most likely; for it is said ( Jdg 8:11) that Gideon "smote the host. for the host was secure." children: Jdg 7:12 fell an hundred: etc. or, an hundred and twenty thousand every one drawing a sword, Jdg 7:22, Jdg 20:2, Jdg 20:15, Jdg 20:17, Jdg 20:25, Jdg 20:35, Jdg 20:46; Kg2 3:26; Ch2 13:17, Ch2 28:6, Ch2 28:8; Isa 37:36 Judges 8:11
