Zererah

Zererah appears once in Scripture as a directional landmark in the Midianite rout after Gideon's legendary night attack: "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 Midianite host fled east toward the Jordan crossing in a long retreat through the upper Jordan Valley. Zererah is generally identified with the same site as Zarethan in the Jordan Valley below Beth-shean — a strategic ford and the upstream location where the Jordan waters had earlier been heaped up for Israel's crossing under Joshua.
