**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 - [Judges 8:11](../../../kjv/judges/8/11) that Gideon "smote the host: for the host was secure."
**children:** [Judges 7:12](../../../kjv/judges/7/12)

**Nobah:** Nobah took its name from an Israelite who conquered it; and is said by Eusebius to have been, in his time, a forsaken place eight miles south from Heshbon. Jogbehah was probably near it. [Numbers 32:35](../../../kjv/numbers/32/35), [Numbers 32:42](../../../kjv/numbers/32/42)

**taught:** Heb. made to know, Instead of wyyoda, Houbigant, Lev. Clerc, and others read wyyadosh, "and he tore or threshed;" and this is not only agreeable to what Gideon threatened ([Judges 8:7](../../../kjv/judges/8/7)), but is supported by the LXX Vulgate, Chaldee, Syriac, and Arabic. The Hebrew Text might easily have been corrupted simply by the change of ש, shin, into ע, ayin, letters very similar to each other.
