Beth-shittah

Beth-shittah ("house of the acacia") was a site on the route the fleeing Midianite army took after Gideon's 300 routed them with the night attack of trumpets and torches: "And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the Lord set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Beth-shittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abel-meholah, unto Tabbath" (Judges 7:22). The Midianites poured east down the Jezreel Valley toward the Jordan as Gideon's pursuit continued through Beth-shittah, Zererath, Abel-meholah, and Tabbath. The site is generally identified with modern Shutta in the Jordan Valley.
