Yahweh said to Gideon, The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, My own hand has saved me.
So out from Mount Gilboa area there is this valley there. And the other side of the valley this little hill of Moreh. It isn't really a mountain but a hillside, and encamped in that valley was this huge host of the Midianites.
