Judges 7:1
Then Jerobaal, who is the same as Gedeon, rising up early and all the people with him, came to the fountain that is called Harad. Now the camp of Madian was in the valley on the north side of the high hill.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Igitur Jerobaal qui et Gedeon, de nocte consurgens, et omnis populus cum eo, venit ad fontem qui vocatur Harad. Erant autem castra Madian in valle ad septentrionalem plagam collis excelsi.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- Καὶ ὤρθρισεν Ἰαρβάλ, αὐτός ἐστιν Γεδεών, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ, καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐπὶ πηγὴν Ἀράδ· καὶ παρεμβολὴ Μαδιὰμ ἦν αὐτῷ ἀπὸ βορρᾶ ἀπὸ Γαβααθαμωρὰ ἐν κοιλάδι.

Haydock's commentary
Fountain. The same also called Areth, as the copies of the Septuagint and of St. Jerome vary. (Bonfrere)
Harad, or "of trouble," either because the Madianites were filled with terror at the approach of Gedeon, or because so many of his soldiers returned home through fear. (Menochius)
Perhaps it may be the same which is called the fountain of Jezrael, near which Saul encamped, 1 Kings xxix. 1. (Calmet)
Adrichomius places it on the south of Gelboe, which is called the high hill. (Menochius)
Hebrew, "on the north side of them, by the hill of More, in the vale." (Haydock)
Jezrael was between Gelboe to the south, and Hermon to the north. (Calmet)
