Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Judges 8:13

_ _ Gideon returned from battle before the sun was up — He seems to have returned by a nearer route to Succoth, for what is rendered in our version “before the sun was up,” means “the heights of Heres, the sun-hills.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Judges 8:4-17.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Judges 8:13

Before the sun was up — By which it might be gathered, that he came upon them in the night, which was most convenient for him who had so small a number with him; and most likely to terrify them by the remembrance of the last Night's sad work.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Judges 8:13

And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle (i) before the sun [was up],
