Judges 7 is one:

"...they just stood and watched as the whole vast enemy army began rushing around in a panic, shouting and running away. For in the confusion the Lord caused the enemy troops to begin fighting and killing each other from one end of the camp to the other..." (Jud.7:21-22 LVB Living Bible).

Another is found in I Samuel 7:

"'Plead with God to save us!' they begged Samuel... Just as Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering, the Philistines arrived for battle, but the Lord spoke with a mighty voice of thunder from heaven, and they were thrown into confusion, and the Israelites routed them, and chased them from Mizpah to Beth-car, killing them along the way." (I Sam.7:8-11 LVB)

Again, in I Samuel; 14:

"Then Saul and his six hundred men rushed out to the battle and found the Philistines killing each other, and there was terrible confusion everywhere." (I Sam.14:20 LVB)

The above examples regard Israel's enemies and God's salvation of His people. But such confusion isn't limited to foreign enemies at Israel's door. God also warns His people of "the enemy within"... their own deceptions... and not to forget Him. He warns them that their enemies will be used as instruments of punishment -- and their own confusion:

"If you will only listen and obey the Commandments of the Lord... But each of these blessings depends on your not turning aside in any way from the laws I have given you; and you must never worship other gods. If you won't listen to the Lord your God and won't obey these laws... The Lord will cause you to be defeated by your enemies. You will march out to battle gloriously, but flee before your enemies in utter confusion; and you will be tossed to and fro among the nations of the earth. Your dead bodies will be food to the birds and wild animals, and no one will be there to chase them away." (Deut.28:13-15 & 25-26 LVB)

"Woe is me! It is hard to find an honest man... They go at their evil deeds with both hands, and how skilled they are at using them! The governor and judges alike demand bribes. The rich man pays them off and tells them whom to ruin. Justice is twisted between them... But your Judgment Day is coming swiftly now; your time of punishment is almost here; confusion, destruction, and TERROR will be yours." (Micah 7:1-4 LVB)
