* two princes.
  8:3  Ps 83:11,12 
 * rock.
  Jos 7:26  Isa 10:26 
 * Oreb.
   Eusebius and Jerome speak of a small place called Araba, three
   miles west from Scythopolis, which is supposed by some to have
   had its name from Oreb.

 * and brought.
   Among ancient nations, the head of the conquered chief was
   usually brought to the conqueror.  Thus Pompey's head was
   brought to C(9173)ar, Cicero's head to Mark Anthony, and the heads
   of Ahab's children to Jehu.  These barbarities are seldom
   practised now, except among the Mahommedans, or the savages of
   Africa and America; and for the credit of human nature, it is
   to be wished that such atrocities had never been committed.

 * on the other side.
   The words {maiaiver lyyarden,} may denote at the passage of
   Jordan, or from beyond Jordan.  Gideon does not appear to have
   yet passed the Jordan.
