Cuando tocaron las trescientas trompetas, el Señor puso la espada del uno contra el otro por todo el campamento; y el ejército huyó hasta Bet-sita, en dirección de Zerera, hasta la orilla de Abel-mehola, junto a Tabat.
Mas los trescientos tocaban las bocinas: y Jehov� puso la espada de cada uno contra su compa�ero en todo el campo. Y el ej�rcito huy� hasta Beth-sitta, hacia Cerera, y hasta el t�rmino de Abel-mehola en Tabbat.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the three hundred men blew the trumpets,.... Kept blowing them to continue and increase the terror of the enemy, and still held the lamps in their hands, and stood as torch bearers to light the Midianites and their associates to destroy one another, as follows:
and the Lord set every man's sword against his fellow throughout the host; and so slew one another; either suspecting treachery, as Grotius, and so in revenge, wrath, and indignation, drew their swords on each other; or through the terror and amazement they were in at the sounds they heard, and the blazing torches dazzling their eyes, they knew not what they did, or who they fell upon, taking their friends for foes, supposing the Israelites were got into their camp; and the rather they might be led into this mistake, since there were people of different languages among them, as Josephus m observes; but the thing was of God, it was he that took away their reason and judgment from them, and infatuated them, and filled their imaginations with such strange apprehensions of things; and threw into their minds such terror and amazement, and directed them to point their swords at one another:
and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath; that is, which was left of it, which had not destroyed each other; the first of these places should be read Bethhashittah; and perhaps had its name from the "shittah" or "shittim" trees which might grow near it in plenty, or the houses in it might be built of shittim wood; or it may be here stood a temple formerly dedicated to some deity of this name, and near it a grove of the above trees. Zererath, Kimchi observes, is written with two "reshes", or R's, to distinguish it from another place called Tzeredah; but where either of these places mentioned were cannot be particularly said; though it is highly probable they were in the tribe of Manasseh, and in the way to Jordan, whither in all probability the Midianites would steer their course to escape to their own land:
and to the border of Abelmeholah unto Tabbath; the former of these was the birth place of Elisha the prophet, 1 Kings 19:16 and it appears very plainly that it was in the tribe of Manasseh, being mentioned with other places in that tribe, 1 Kings 4:12. Jerome n under this word says, there was in his time a village in Aulon, or the plain, ten miles from Scythopolis to the south, which was called Bethahula; and the Targum is,
"to the border of the plain of Abelmeholah;''
but of Tabbath we nowhere else read.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Beth-shittah - - “House of the acacias,” the same trees which gave their name to “Shittim” Numbers 33:49 in the plains of Maab, and which grew plentifully also, in the peninsula of Sinai Exodus 25:5 perhaps “Shuttah”, in the valley of Jezreel; or it may be another name of Scythopolis, or Beth-shan (compare 1 Kings 4:12). “Zererath or Zeredath”, near Succoth Judges 8:5, the same as “Zeredah” in Ephraim the birth-place of Jeroboam 1 Kings 11:26, and “Zartauah” 1 Kings 4:12. “Abel-meholah” (field of the dance), the birth-place of Elisha 1 Kings 19:16 is in the Jordan valley, 10 miles from Scythopolis, if identified with Bethmaela: if the same as Abelmea, it lay between Nablous and Scythopolis. (But see 1 Kings 19:16 note.) “Tabbath” was apparently lower down the Jordan valley, i. e. further south.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 7:22. Fled to Beth-shittah — This is no where else mentioned in Scripture.
Zererath — This and Tabbath are nowhere else to be found.
Abel-meholah — This was the birth-place of the prophet Elisha, 1 Kings 19:16. It was beyond Jordan, in the tribe of Manasseh, 1 Kings 4:12. The Zartanah, mentioned in this last quoted verse, was probably the same as Zererath. Its situation corresponds well with Abel-meholah.
