Overview
Karkor was an eastern desert location where Gideon pursued the fleeing Midianite army after his initial victory at the Valley of Jezreel. Though exhausted from battle, Gideon pressed forward in faith, catching the Midianite kings off guard and achieving a decisive victory that secured peace for Israel.
Key Scriptures
"And Gideon went up by the way of those who dwell in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and attacked the army, for the army was unprepared" (Judges 8:11, ESV).
"And Gideon the son of Joash returned from the battle by the ascent of Heres. And he caught a young man of the men of Succoth and asked him. And he wrote down for him the officials and elders of Succoth, seventy-seven men" (Judges 8:13-14, ESV).
Application
Pursue complete victory over sin in your life rather than settling for partial obedience, trusting God to strengthen you even when weary.
