Chapter 7
Then
Jerubbaal,
who
is
Gideon,
and
all
the
people
that
were
with
him,
rose
up
early,
and
pitched
beside
the
well
of
Harod:
so
that
the
host
of
the
Midianites
were
on
the
north
side
of
them,
by
the
hill
of
Moreh,
in
the
valley.
2
And
the
Lord
said
unto
Gideon,
The
people
that
are
with
thee
are
too
many
for
me
to
give
the
Midianites
into
their
hands,
lest
Israel
vaunt
themselves
against
me,
saying,
Mine
own
hand
hath
saved
me.
3
Now
therefore
go
to,
proclaim
in
the
ears
of
the
people,
saying,
Whosoever
is
fearful
and
afraid,
let
him
return
and
depart
early
from
mount
Gilead.
And
there
returned
of
the
people
twenty
and
two
thousand;
and
there
remained
ten
thousand.
4
And
the
Lord
said
unto
Gideon,
The
people
are
yet
too
many;
bring
them
down
unto
the
water,
and
I
will
try
them
for
thee
there:
and
it
shall
be,
that
of
whom
I
say
unto
thee,
This
shall
go
with
thee,
the
same
shall
go
with
thee;
and
of
whomsoever
I
say
unto
thee,
This
shall
not
go
with
thee,
the
same
shall
not
go.
5
So
he
brought
down
the
people
unto
the
water:
and
the
Lord
said
unto
Gideon,
Every
one
that
lappeth
of
the
water
with
his
tongue,
as
a
dog
lappeth,
him
shalt
thou
set
by
himself;
likewise
every
one
that
boweth
down
upon
his
knees
to
drink.
6
And
the
number
of
them
that
lapped,
putting
their
hand
to
their
mouth,
were
three
hundred
men:
but
all
the
rest
of
the
people
bowed
down
upon
their
knees
to
drink
water.
7
And
the
Lord
said
unto
Gideon,
By
the
three
hundred
men
that
lapped
will
I
save
you,
and
deliver
the
Midianites
into
thine
hand:
and
let
all
the
other
people
go
every
man
unto
his
place.
8
So
the
people
took
victuals
in
their
hand,
and
their
trumpets:
and
he
sent
all
the
rest
of
Israel
every
man
unto
his
tent,
and
retained
those
three
hundred
men:
and
the
host
of
Midian
was
beneath
him
in
the
valley.
9
And
it
came
to
pass
the
same
night,
that
the
Lord
said
unto
him,
Arise,
get
thee
down
unto
the
host;
for
I
have
delivered
it
into
thine
hand.
10
But
if
thou
fear
to
go
down,
go
thou
with
Phurah
thy
servant
down
to
the
host:
11
And
thou
shalt
hear
what
they
say;
and
afterward
shall
thine
hands
be
strengthened
to
go
down
unto
the
host.
Then
went
he
down
with
Phurah
his
servant
unto
the
outside
of
the
armed
men
that
were
in
the
host.
12
And
the
Midianites
and
the
Amalekites
and
all
the
children
of
the
east
lay
along
in
the
valley
like
grasshoppers
for
multitude;
and
their
camels
were
without
number,
as
the
sand
by
the
sea
side
for
multitude.
13
And
when
Gideon
was
come,
behold,
there
was
a
man
that
told
a
dream
unto
his
fellow,
and
said,
Behold,
I
dreamed
a
dream,
and,
lo,
a
cake
of
barley
bread
tumbled
into
the
host
of
Midian,
and
came
unto
a
tent,
and
smote
it
that
it
fell,
and
overturned
it,
that
the
tent
lay
along.
14
And
his
fellow
answered
and
said,
This
is
nothing
else
save
the
sword
of
Gideon
the
son
of
Joash,
a
man
of
Israel:
for
into
his
hand
hath
God
delivered
Midian,
and
all
the
host.
15
And
it
was
so,
when
Gideon
heard
the
telling
of
the
dream,
and
the
interpretation
thereof,
that
he
worshipped,
and
returned
into
the
host
of
Israel,
and
said,
Arise;
for
the
Lord
hath
delivered
into
your
hand
the
host
of
Midian.
16
And
he
divided
the
three
hundred
men
into
three
companies,
and
he
put
a
trumpet
in
every
man’s
hand,
with
empty
pitchers,
and
lamps
within
the
pitchers.
17
And
he
said
unto
them,
Look
on
me,
and
do
likewise:
and,
behold,
when
I
come
to
the
outside
of
the
camp,
it
shall
be
that,
as
I
do,
so
shall
ye
do.
18
When
I
blow
with
a
trumpet,
I
and
all
that
are
with
me,
then
blow
ye
the
trumpets
also
on
every
side
of
all
the
camp,
and
say,
The
sword
of
the
Lord,
and
of
Gideon.
19
So
Gideon,
and
the
hundred
men
that
were
with
him,
came
unto
the
outside
of
the
camp
in
the
beginning
of
the
middle
watch;
and
they
had
but
newly
set
the
watch:
and
they
blew
the
trumpets,
and
brake
the
pitchers
that
were
in
their
hands.
20
And
the
three
companies
blew
the
trumpets,
and
brake
the
pitchers,
and
held
the
lamps
in
their
left
hands,
and
the
trumpets
in
their
right
hands
to
blow
withal:
and
they
cried,
The
sword
of
the
Lord,
and
of
Gideon.
21
And
they
stood
every
man
in
his
place
round
about
the
camp:
and
all
the
host
ran,
and
cried,
and
fled.
22
And
the
three
hundred
blew
the
trumpets,
and
the
Lord
set
every
man’s
sword
against
his
fellow,
even
throughout
all
the
host:
and
the
host
fled
to
Beth-shittah
in
Zererath,
and
to
the
border
of
Abel-meholah,
unto
Tabbath.
23
And
the
men
of
Israel
gathered
themselves
together
out
of
Naphtali,
and
out
of
Asher,
and
out
of
all
Manasseh,
and
pursued
after
the
Midianites.
24
And
Gideon
sent
messengers
throughout
all
mount
Ephraim,
saying,
Come
down
against
the
Midianites,
and
take
before
them
the
waters
unto
Beth-barah
and
Jordan.
Then
all
the
men
of
Ephraim
gathered
themselves
together,
and
took
the
waters
unto
Beth-barah
and
Jordan.
25
And
they
took
two
princes
of
the
Midianites,
Oreb
and
Zeeb;
and
they
slew
Oreb
upon
the
rock
Oreb,
and
Zeeb
they
slew
at
the
winepress
of
Zeeb,
and
pursued
Midian,
and
brought
the
heads
of
Oreb
and
Zeeb
to
Gideon
on
the
other
side
Jordan.
