With only 300 soldiers Gideon and his men frightened the Midianite armies with trumpets and lights, the Midionites flee and are defeated by Israel.
With 300 hundred trumpets blaring away as well as three hundred lights being waved about it was enough to frighten the Midianites, so much so that they were not sure who the enemy was and so fought among themselves. They were pursued by the Isaelites, their princes captured and killed and their army defeated.
