Judges 7:11

7:11 and listen to what they are saying. Then you will be brave ¹  and attack the camp.” So he went down with Purah his servant to where the sentries were guarding the camp. ² 

Judges 8:11

8:11 Gideon went up the road of the nomads ³  east of Nobah and Jogbehah and ambushed the surprised army. ⁴ 

[7:11]  ¹ tn Heb “your hands will be strengthened.”

[7:11]  ² tn Heb “to the edge of the ones in battle array who were in the camp.”

[8:11]  ³ tn Heb “the ones living in tents.”

[8:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “and attacked the army, while the army was secure.” The Hebrew term בֶטַח (vetakh, “secure”) probably means the army was undefended (see R. G. Boling, Judges [AB], 156), not suspecting an attack at that time and place.
