The three companies blow the trumpets and break the pitchers, and the army flees

나팔을 불고 항아리를 부수며 외친 세 대와 도망한 적군

Judges 7:16–22: Gideon divides the three hundred men into three companies, and he puts into the hands of all of them trumpets and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers. He says to them, “Watch me, and do likewise. Behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so you shall do. When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and shout, ‘For the LORD and for Gideon!’” So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him come to the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch. Then they blow the trumpets and break in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands. The three companies blow the trumpets, break the pitchers, and hold the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands with which to blow; and they shout, “The sword of the LORD and of Gideon!” They each stand in his place around the camp, and all the army runs; and the text goes on, “they shouted, and put them to flight.” They blow the three hundred trumpets, and the LORD sets every man’s sword against his fellow and against all the army; and the army flees as far as Beth Shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath. The Korean Revised Version has the whole army run, cry out and flee at 7:21, and reads 스레라의 벧 싯다 (Beth Shittah of Zererah) and 답밧에 가까운 아벨므홀라 (Abel Meholah near Tabbath) at 7:22.
