Judges 7:21

And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.

And they stood {H5975} every man {H376} in his place round about {H5439} the camp {H4264}: and all the host {H4264} ran {H7323}, and cried {H7321}, and fled {H5127}{H5127}.

Then, as every man stood still in place around the camp, the whole camp was thrown into panic, with everyone screaming and trying to escape.

Each Israelite took his position around the camp, and the entire Midianite army fled, crying out as they ran.

And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight.
