Chapter 7
Then
Ierubbaal
(who
is
Gideon)
and
all
the
people
that
were
with
him,
rose
vp
earely,
and
pitched
beside
the
well
of
Harod:
so
that
the
hoste
of
the
Midianites
were
on
the
North
side
of
them
by
the
hill
of
Moreh,
in
the
valley.
2
And
the
Lord
said
vnto
Gideon,
The
people
that
are
with
thee,
are
too
many
for
me
to
giue
the
Midianites
into
their
handes,
lest
Israel
vaunt
themselues
against
mee,
saying,
Mine
owne
hand
hath
saued
me.
3
Now
therefore
go
to,
proclaime
in
the
eares
of
the
people,
saying,
Whosoeuer
is
fearefull
and
afraid,
let
him
returne
and
depart
earely
from
mount
Gilead:
and
there
returned
of
the
people
twentie
and
two
thousand,
&
there
remained
ten
thousand.
4
And
the
Lord
said
vnto
Gideon,
The
people
are
yet
too
many:
bring
them
downe
vnto
the
water,
and
I
wil
trie
them
for
thee
there:
and
it
shall
bee
that
of
whome
I
say
vnto
thee,
This
shall
goe
with
thee,
the
same
shall
goe
with
thee:
and
of
whomsoeuer
I
say
vnto
thee,
This
shal
not
goe
with
thee,
the
same
shall
not
goe.
5
So
he
brought
downe
the
people
vnto
the
water:
and
the
Lord
sayd
vnto
Gideon,
Euery
one
that
lappeth
of
the
water
with
his
tongue
as
a
dog
lappeth,
him
shalt
thou
set
by
himselfe,
likewise
euery
one
that
boweth
downe
vpon
his
knees
to
drinke.
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
downe
vpon
their
knees
to
drinke
water.
7
And
the
Lord
said
vnto
Gideon,
By
the
three
hundred
men
that
lapped,
will
I
saue
you,
and
deliuer
the
Midianites
into
thine
hand:
and
let
all
the
other
people
goe
euery
man
vnto
his
place.
8
So
the
people
tooke
victuals
in
their
hand,
and
their
trumpets:
and
he
sent
all
the
rest
of
Israel,
euery
man
vnto
his
tent,
and
reteined
those
three
hundred
men:
and
the
hoste
of
Midian
was
beneath
him
in
the
valley.
9
And
it
came
to
passe
the
same
night,
that
the
Lord
sayd
vnto
him,
Arise,
get
thee
downe
vnto
the
hoste,
for
I
haue
deliuered
it
into
thine
hand.
10
But
if
thou
feare
to
goe
downe,
goe
thou
with
Phurah
thy
seruant
downe
to
the
hoste.
11
And
thou
shalt
heare
what
they
say,
and
afterward
shall
thine
handes
be
strengthened
to
goe
downe
vnto
the
hoste.
Then
went
hee
downe,
with
Phurah
his
seruant,
vnto
the
outside
of
the
armed
men,
that
were
in
the
hoste.
12
And
the
Midianites,
and
the
Amalekites,
and
all
the
children
of
the
East,
lay
along
in
the
valley
like
grashoppers
for
multitude,
and
their
camels
were
without
number,
as
the
sand
by
the
Sea
side
for
multitude.
13
And
when
Gideon
was
come,
beholde,
there
was
a
man
that
tolde
a
dreame
vnto
his
fellow,
and
sayd,
Behold,
I
dreamed
a
dreame,
and
loe,
a
cake
of
Barley
bread
tumbled
into
the
hoste
of
Midian,
and
came
vnto
a
tent,
and
smote
it
that
it
fell,
and
ouerturned
it,
that
the
tent
lay
along.
14
And
his
fellow
answered,
and
said,
This
is
nothing
els
saue
the
sword
of
Gideon
the
sonne
of
Ioash,
a
man
of
Israel:
for
into
his
hand
hath
God
deliuered
Midian,
and
all
the
hoste.
15
And
it
was
so,
when
Gideon
heard
the
telling
of
the
dreame,
and
the
interpretation
thereof,
that
hee
worshipped,
and
returned
into
the
host
of
Israel,
and
sayd,
Arise,
for
the
Lord
hath
deliuered
into
your
hand
the
host
of
Midian.
16
And
he
diuided
the
three
hundred
men
into
three
companies,
and
hee
put
a
trumpet
in
euery
mans
hand,
with
empty
pitchers,
and
lampes
within
the
pitchers,
17
And
hee
said
vnto
them,
Looke
on
mee,
and
doe
likewise;
and
beholde,
when
I
come
to
the
outside
of
the
campe,
it
shall
be
that
as
I
doe,
so
shall
ye
doe.
18
When
I
blow
with
a
trumpet,
I
and
all
that
are
with
mee,
then
blow
ye
the
trumpets
also
on
euery
side
of
all
the
campe,
and
say,
The
sword
of
the
Lord,
and
of
Gideon.
19
So
Gideon
and
the
hundred
men
that
were
with
him,
came
vnto
the
outside
of
the
campe,
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
lampes
in
their
left
hands,
and
the
trumpets
in
their
right
hands
to
blow
withall:
and
they
cryed,
The
sword
of
the
Lord,
and
of
Gideon.
21
And
they
stood
euery
man
in
his
place,
round
about
the
campe:
and
all
the
host
ranne,
and
cried,
and
fled.
22
And
the
three
hundred
blew
the
trumpets,
and
the
Lord
set
euery
mans
sword
against
his
fellow,
euen
throughout
all
the
host:
and
the
host
fled
to
Beth-shittah,
in
Zererath,
and
to
the
border
of
Abel
Meholah,
vnto
Tabbath.
23
And
the
men
of
Israel
gathered
themselues
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
downe
against
the
Midianites,
and
take
before
them
the
waters
vnto
Beth-barah,
and
Iordan.
Then
all
the
men
of
Ephraim
gathered
themselues
together,
and
tooke
the
waters
vnto
Beth-barah,
and
Iordane.
25
And
they
tooke
two
Princes
of
the
Midianites,
Oreb,
and
Zeeb;
and
they
slew
Oreb
vpon
the
rocke
Oreb,
and
Zeeb
they
slew
at
the
winepresse
of
Zeeb,
and
pursued
Midian,
and
brought
the
heads
of
Oreb
and
Zeeb,
to
Gideon
on
the
other
side
Iordan.
