1
And the men [0376] of Ephraim [0669] said [0559] unto him, Why [4100] hast thou served [6213] us thus, [1697] that thou calledst [7121] us not, when thou wentest [1980] to fight [3898] with the Midianites? [4080] And they did chide [7378] with him sharply. [2393]
2
And he said [0559] unto them, What have I done [6213] now in comparison of you? [Is] not the gleaning [5955] of the grapes of Ephraim [0669] better [2896] than the vintage [1210] of Abiezer? [0044]
3
God [0430] hath delivered [5414] into your hands [3027] the princes [8269] of Midian, [4080] Oreb [6159] and Zeeb: [2062] and what was I able [3201] to do [6213] in comparison of you? Then their anger [7307] was abated [7503] toward him, when he had said [1696] that. [1697]
4
And Gideon [1439] came [0935] to Jordan, [3383] [and] passed over, [5674] he, and the three [7969] hundred [3967] men [0376] that [were] with him, faint, [5889] yet pursuing [7291] [them].
5
And he said [0559] unto the men [0582] of Succoth, [5523] Give, [5414] I pray you, loaves [3603] of bread [3899] unto the people [5971] that follow [7272] me; for they [be] faint, [5889] and I am pursuing [7291] after [0310] Zebah [2078] and Zalmunna, [6759] kings [4428] of Midian. [4080]
6
And the princes [8269] of Succoth [5523] said, [0559] [Are] the hands [3709] of Zebah [2078] and Zalmunna [6759] now in thine hand, [3027] that we should give [5414] bread [3899] unto thine army? [6635]
7
And Gideon [1439] said, [0559] Therefore when the LORD [3068] hath delivered [5414] Zebah [2078] and Zalmunna [6759] into mine hand, [3027] then I will tear [1758] your flesh [1320] with the thorns [6975] of the wilderness [4057] and with briers. [1303]
8
And he went up [5927] thence to Penuel, [6439] and spake [1696] unto them likewise: [2063] and the men [0582] of Penuel [6439] answered [6030] him as the men [0582] of Succoth [5523] had answered [6030] [him].
9
And he spake [0559] also unto the men [0582] of Penuel, [6439] saying, [0559] When I come again [7725] in peace, [7965] I will break down [5422] this tower. [4026]
10
Now Zebah [2078] and Zalmunna [6759] [were] in Karkor, [7174] and their hosts [4264] with them, about fifteen [2568] [6240] thousand [0505] [men], all that were left [3498] of all the hosts [4264] of the children [1121] of the east: [6924] for there fell [5307] an hundred [3967] and twenty [6242] thousand [0505] men [0376] that drew [8025] sword. [2719]
11
And Gideon [1439] went up [5927] by the way [1870] of them that dwelt [7931] in tents [0168] on the east [6924] of Nobah [5025] and Jogbehah, [3011] and smote [5221] the host: [4264] for the host [4264] was secure. [0983]
12
And when Zebah [2078] and Zalmunna [6759] fled, [5127] he pursued [7291] after [0310] them, and took [3920] the two [8147] kings [4428] of Midian, [4080] Zebah [2078] and Zalmunna, [6759] and discomfited [2729] all the host. [4264]
13
And Gideon [1439] the son [1121] of Joash [3101] returned [7725] from battle [4421] before [4608] the sun [2775] [was up],
14
And caught [3920] a young man [5288] of the men [0582] of Succoth, [5523] and enquired [7592] of him: and he described [3789] unto him the princes [8269] of Succoth, [5523] and the elders [2205] thereof, [even] threescore and seventeen [7657] [7651] men. [0376]
15
And he came [0935] unto the men [0582] of Succoth, [5523] and said, [0559] Behold Zebah [2078] and Zalmunna, [6759] with whom ye did upbraid [2778] me, saying, [0559] [Are] the hands [3709] of Zebah [2078] and Zalmunna [6759] now in thine hand, [3027] that we should give [5414] bread [3899] unto thy men [0582] [that are] weary? [3287]
16
And he took [3947] the elders [2205] of the city, [5892] and thorns [6975] of the wilderness [4057] and briers, [1303] and with them he taught [3045] the men [0582] of Succoth. [5523]
17
And he beat down [5422] the tower [4026] of Penuel, [6439] and slew [2026] the men [0582] of the city. [5892]
18
Then said [0559] he unto Zebah [2078] and Zalmunna, [6759] What manner [0375] of men [0582] [were they] whom ye slew [2026] at Tabor? [8396] And they answered, [0559] As thou [3644] [art], so [were] they; [3644] each one [0259] resembled [8389] the children [1121] of a king. [4428]
19
And he said, [0559] They [were] my brethren, [0251] [even] the sons [1121] of my mother: [0517] [as] the LORD [3068] liveth, [2416] if [3863] ye had saved them alive, [2421] I would not slay [2026] you.
20
And he said [0559] unto Jether [3500] his firstborn, [1060] Up, [6965] [and] slay [2026] them. But the youth [5288] drew [8025] not his sword: [2719] for he feared, [3372] because he [was] yet a youth. [5288]
21
Then Zebah [2078] and Zalmunna [6759] said, [0559] Rise [6965] thou, and fall [6293] upon us: for as the man [0376] [is, so is] his strength. [1369] And Gideon [1439] arose, [6965] and slew [2026] Zebah [2078] and Zalmunna, [6759] and took away [3947] the ornaments [7720] that [were] on their camels' [1581] necks. [6677]
22
Then the men [0376] of Israel [3478] said [0559] unto Gideon, [1439] Rule [4910] thou over us, both thou, and thy son, [1121] and thy son's [1121] son [1121] also: for thou hast delivered [3467] us from the hand [3027] of Midian. [4080]
23
And Gideon [1439] said [0559] unto them, I will not rule [4910] over you, neither shall my son [1121] rule [4910] over you: the LORD [3068] shall rule [4910] over you.
24
And Gideon [1439] said [0559] unto them, I would desire [7592] a request [7596] of you, that ye would give [5414] me every man [0376] the earrings [5141] of his prey. [7998] (For they had golden [2091] earrings, [5141] because they [were] Ishmaelites.) [3459]
25
And they answered, [0559] We will willingly [5414] give [5414] [them]. And they spread [6566] a garment, [8071] and did cast [7993] therein every man [0376] the earrings [5141] of his prey. [7998]
26
And the weight [4948] of the golden [2091] earrings [5141] that he requested [7592] was a thousand [0505] and seven [7651] hundred [3967] [shekels] of gold; [2091] beside ornaments, [7720] and collars, [5188] and purple [0713] raiment [0899] that [was] on the kings [4428] of Midian, [4080] and beside the chains [6060] that [were] about their camels' [1581] necks. [6677]
27
And Gideon [1439] made [6213] an ephod [0646] thereof, and put [3322] it in his city, [5892] [even] in Ophrah: [6084] and all Israel [3478] went thither a whoring [2181] after [0310] it: which thing became a snare [4170] unto Gideon, [1439] and to his house. [1004]
28
Thus was Midian [4080] subdued [3665] before [6440] the children [1121] of Israel, [3478] so that they lifted up [5375] their heads [7218] no more. [3254] And the country [0776] was in quietness [8252] forty [0705] years [8141] in the days [3117] of Gideon. [1439]
29
And Jerubbaal [3378] the son [1121] of Joash [3101] went [3212] and dwelt [3427] in his own house. [1004]
30
And Gideon [1439] had threescore and ten [7657] sons [1121] of his body [3409] begotten: [3318] for he had many [7227] wives. [0802]
31
And his concubine [6370] that [was] in Shechem, [7927] she also bare [3205] him a son, [1121] whose name [8034] he called [7760] Abimelech. [0040]
32
And Gideon [1439] the son [1121] of Joash [3101] died [4191] in a good [2896] old age, [7872] and was buried [6912] in the sepulchre [6913] of Joash [3101] his father, [0001] in Ophrah [6084] of the Abiezrites. [0033]
33
And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon [1439] was dead, [4191] that the children [1121] of Israel [3478] turned again, [7725] and went a whoring [2181] after [0310] Baalim, [1168] and made [7760] Baalberith [1170] their god. [0430]
34
And the children [1121] of Israel [3478] remembered [2142] not the LORD [3068] their God, [0430] who had delivered [5337] them out of the hands [3027] of all their enemies [0341] on every side: [5439]
35
Neither shewed [6213] they kindness [2617] to the house [1004] of Jerubbaal, [3378] [namely], Gideon, [1439] according to all the goodness [2896] which he had shewed [6213] unto Israel. [3478]
