There returned - These finding their whole army very small, in comparison of their enemies, who were a hundred and thirty five thousand, Jdg 8:10, and they, no doubt well armed and disciplined, and encouraged by long success; whereas the Israelites were dispirited with long servitude, and many of them unarmed, lost the courage which they had at first.
