Wesley's Judges 8:11 Bible Commentary
8:11 That dwelt in tents — That is, of the Arabians, so fetching a compass, and falling upon them where they least expected it.
Was secure — Being now got safe over Jordan, and a great way from the place of battle; and probably, supposing Gideon's men to be so tired with their hard service, that they would have neither strength nor will to pursue them so far.
