JUD-7:1 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.
JUD-7:2 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.
JUD-7:3 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.
JUD-7:4 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.
JUD-7:5 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.
JUD-7:6 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.
JUD-7:7 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.
JUD-7:8 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.
JUD-7:9 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.
JUD-7:10 But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy
servant down to the host:
JUD-7:11 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.
JUD-7:12 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.
JUD-7:13 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.
JUD-7:14 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.
JUD-7:15 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.
JUD-7:16 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.
JUD-7:17 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.
JUD-7:18 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.
JUD-7:19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that [were] with him,
