“And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,”
And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up — Gideon's return 'before the sun was up' (מִלְּפָנֵי הַשֶׁמֶשׁ, milfnei ha-shemesh) suggests predawn travel and urgency. His journey back to exact vengeance marks the transition from deliverer to punisher.
