1
Then Jerubbaal, [3378] who [is] Gideon, [1439] and all the people [5971] that [were] with him, rose up early, [7925] and pitched [2583] beside the well of Harod: [5878] so that the host [4264] of the Midianites [4080] were on the north [6828] side of them, by the hill [1389] of Moreh, [4176] in the valley. [6010]
2
And the LORD [3068] said [0559] unto Gideon, [1439] The people [5971] that [are] with thee [are] too many [7227] for me to give [5414] the Midianites [4080] into their hands, [3027] lest Israel [3478] vaunt [6286] themselves against me, saying, [0559] Mine own hand [3027] hath saved [3467] me.
3
Now therefore go to, [4994] proclaim [7121] in the ears [0241] of the people, [5971] saying, [0559] Whosoever [is] fearful [3373] and afraid, [2730] let him return [7725] and depart early [6852] from mount [2022] Gilead. [1568] And there returned [7725] of the people [5971] twenty [6242] and two [8147] thousand; [0505] and there remained [7604] ten [6235] thousand. [0505]
4
And the LORD [3068] said [0559] unto Gideon, [1439] The people [5971] [are] yet [too] many; [7227] bring them down [3381] unto the water, [4325] and I will try [6884] them for thee there: and it shall be, [that] of whom I say [0559] unto thee, This shall go [3212] with thee, the same shall go [3212] with thee; and of whomsoever I say [0559] unto thee, This shall not go [3212] with thee, the same shall not go. [3212]
5
So he brought down [3381] the people [5971] unto the water: [4325] and the LORD [3068] said [0559] unto Gideon, [1439] Every one that lappeth [3952] of the water [4325] with his tongue, [3956] as a dog [3611] lappeth, [3952] him shalt thou set [3322] by himself; likewise every one that boweth down [3766] upon his knees [1290] to drink. [8354]
6
And the number [4557] of them that lapped, [3952] [putting] their hand [3027] to their mouth, [6310] were three [7969] hundred [3967] men: [0376] but all the rest [3499] of the people [5971] bowed down [3766] upon their knees [1290] to drink [8354] water. [4325]
7
And the LORD [3068] said [0559] unto Gideon, [1439] By the three [7969] hundred [3967] men [0376] that lapped [3952] will I save [3467] you, and deliver [5414] the Midianites [4080] into thine hand: [3027] and let all the [other] people [5971] go [3212] every man [0376] unto his place. [4725]
8
So the people [5971] took [3947] victuals [6720] in their hand, [3027] and their trumpets: [7782] and he sent [7971] all [0376] [the rest of] Israel [3478] every man [0376] unto his tent, [0168] and retained [2388] those three [7969] hundred [3967] men: [0376] and the host [4264] of Midian [4080] was beneath him in the valley. [6010]
9
And it came to pass the same night, [3915] that the LORD [3068] said [0559] unto him, Arise, [6965] get thee down [3381] unto the host; [4264] for I have delivered [5414] it into thine hand. [3027]
10
But if thou fear [3373] to go down, [3381] go thou with Phurah [6513] thy servant [5288] down [3381] to the host: [4264]
11
And thou shalt hear [8085] what they say; [1696] and afterward [0310] shall thine hands [3027] be strengthened [2388] to go down [3381] unto the host. [4264] Then went he down [3381] with Phurah [6513] his servant [5288] unto the outside [7097] of the armed men [2571] that [were] in the host. [4264]
12
And the Midianites [4080] and the Amalekites [6002] and all the children [1121] of the east [6924] lay [5307] along in the valley [6010] like grasshoppers [0697] for multitude; [7230] and their camels [1581] [were] without number, [4557] as the sand [2344] by the sea [3220] side [8193] for multitude. [7230]
13
And when Gideon [1439] was come, [0935] behold, [there was] a man [0376] that told [5608] a dream [2472] unto his fellow, [7453] and said, [0559] Behold, I dreamed [2492] a dream, [2472] and, lo, a cake [6742] [6742] of barley [8184] bread [3899] tumbled [2015] into the host [4264] of Midian, [4080] and came [0935] unto a tent, [0168] and smote [5221] it that it fell, [5307] and overturned [2015] it, [4605] that the tent [0168] lay along. [5307]
14
And his fellow [7453] answered [6030] and said, [0559] This [is] nothing else save the sword [2719] of Gideon [1439] the son [1121] of Joash, [3101] a man [0376] of Israel: [3478] [for] into his hand [3027] hath God [0430] delivered [5414] Midian, [4080] and all the host. [4264]
15
And it was [so], when Gideon [1439] heard [8085] the telling [4557] of the dream, [2472] and the interpretation [7667] thereof, that he worshipped, [7812] and returned [7725] into the host [4264] of Israel, [3478] and said, [0559] Arise; [6965] for the LORD [3068] hath delivered [5414] into your hand [3027] the host [4264] of Midian. [4080]
16
And he divided [2673] the three [7969] hundred [3967] men [0376] [into] three [7969] companies, [7218] and he put [5414] a trumpet [7782] in every man's hand, [3027] with empty [7386] pitchers, [3537] and lamps [3940] within [8432] the pitchers. [3537]
17
And he said [0559] unto them, Look [7200] on me, and do [6213] likewise: and, behold, when I come [0935] to the outside [7097] of the camp, [4264] it shall be [that], as I do, [6213] so shall ye do. [6213]
18
When I blow [8628] with a trumpet, [7782] I and all that [are] with me, then blow [8628] ye the trumpets [7782] also on every side [5439] of all the camp, [4264] and say, [0559] [The sword] of the LORD, [3068] and of Gideon. [1439]
19
So Gideon, [1439] and the hundred [3967] men [0376] that [were] with him, came [0935] unto the outside [7097] of the camp [4264] in the beginning [7218] of the middle [8484] watch; [0821] and they had but [0389] newly [6965] set [6965] the watch: [8104] and they blew [8628] the trumpets, [7782] and brake [5310] the pitchers [3537] that [were] in their hands. [3027]
20
And the three [7969] companies [7218] blew [8628] the trumpets, [7782] and brake [7665] the pitchers, [3537] and held [2388] the lamps [3940] in their left [8040] hands, [3027] and the trumpets [7782] in their right [3225] hands [3027] to blow [8628] [withal]: and they cried, [7121] The sword [2719] of the LORD, [3068] and of Gideon. [1439]
21
And they stood [5975] every man [0376] in his place round about [5439] the camp: [4264] and all the host [4264] ran, [7323] and cried, [7321] and fled. [5127][5127]
22
And the three [7969] hundred [3967] blew [8628] the trumpets, [7782] and the LORD [3068] set [7760] every man's [0376] sword [2719] against his fellow, [7453] even throughout all the host: [4264] and the host [4264] fled [5127] to Bethshittah [1029] in Zererath, [6888] [and] to the border [8193] of Abelmeholah, [0065] unto Tabbath. [2888]
23
And the men [0376] of Israel [3478] gathered themselves together [6817] out of Naphtali, [5321] and out of Asher, [0836] and out of all Manasseh, [4519] and pursued [7291] after [0310] the Midianites. [4080]
24
And Gideon [1439] sent [7971] messengers [4397] throughout all mount [2022] Ephraim, [0669] saying, [0559] Come down [3381] against [7125] the Midianites, [4080] and take [3920] before them the waters [4325] unto Bethbarah [1012] and Jordan. [3383] Then all the men [0376] of Ephraim [0669] gathered themselves together, [6817] and took [3920] the waters [4325] unto Bethbarah [1012] and Jordan. [3383]
25
And they took [3920] two [8147] princes [8269] of the Midianites, [4080] Oreb [6159] and Zeeb; [2062] and they slew [2026] Oreb [6159] upon the rock [6697] Oreb, [6159] and Zeeb [2062] they slew [2026] at the winepress [3342] of Zeeb, [2062] and pursued [7291] Midian, [4080] and brought [0935] the heads [7218] of Oreb [6159] and Zeeb [2062] to Gideon [1439] on the other side [5676] Jordan.
