And of the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144, the kindredH251 of SaulH7586, threeH7969 thousandH505: for hitherto the greatestH4768 part of them had keptH8104 the wardH4931 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586. {kindred: Heb. brethren} {the greatest…: Heb. a multitude of them}
And of the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669 twentyH6242 thousandH505 and eightH8083 hundredH3967, mightyH1368 menH582 of valourH2428, famousH8034 throughout the houseH1004 of their fathersH1. {famous: Heb. men of names}
And of the halfH2677 tribeH4294 of ManassehH4519 eighteenH8083+H6240 thousandH505, which were expressedH5344 by nameH8034, to comeH935 and make DavidH1732 kingH4427.
And of the childrenH1121 of IssacharH3485, which were men that had understandingH998+H3045 of the timesH6256, to knowH3045 what IsraelH3478 ought to doH6213; the headsH7218 of them were two hundredH3967; and all their brethrenH251 were at their commandmentH6310.
Of ZebulunH2074, such as went forthH3318 to battleH6635, expertH6186 in warH4421, with all instrumentsH3627 of warH4421, fiftyH2572 thousandH505, which could keep rankH5737: they were not of doubleH3820 heartH3820. {expert…: or, rangers of battle, or, ranged in battle} {keep…: or, set the battle in array} {not…: Heb. without a heart and a heart}

All these menH582 of warH4421, that could keepH5737 rankH4634, cameH935 with a perfectH8003 heartH3820 to HebronH2275, to make DavidH1732 kingH4427 over all IsraelH3478: and all the restH7611 also of IsraelH3478 were of oneH259 heartH3824 to make DavidH1732 kingH4427.
And there they were with DavidH1732 threeH7969 daysH3117, eatingH398 and drinkingH8354: for their brethrenH251 had preparedH3559 for them.
Moreover they that were nighH7138 them, even unto IssacharH3485 and ZebulunH2074 and NaphtaliH5321, broughtH935 breadH3899 on assesH2543, and on camelsH1581, and on mulesH6505, and on oxenH1241, and meatH3978, mealH7058, cakesH1690 of figs, and bunches of raisinsH6778, and wineH3196, and oilH8081, and oxenH1241, and sheepH6629 abundantlyH7230: for there was joyH8057 in IsraelH3478. {meat…: or, victual of meal}
And DavidH1732 consultedH3289 with the captainsH8269 of thousandsH505 and hundredsH3967, and with every leaderH5057.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478, If it seem goodH2895 unto you, and that it be of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, let us sendH7971 abroadH6555 unto our brethrenH251 every where, that are leftH7604 in all the landH776 of IsraelH3478, and with them also to the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 which are in their citiesH5892 and suburbsH4054, that they may gatherH6908 themselves unto us: {send…: Heb. break forth and send} {in their…: Heb. in the cities of their suburbs}
And let us bring againH5437 the arkH727 of our GodH430 to us: for we enquiredH1875 not at it in the daysH3117 of SaulH7586. {bring…: Heb. bring about}
And all the congregationH6951 saidH559 that they would do soH6213: for the thingH1697 was rightH3474 in the eyesH5869 of all the peopleH5971.
So DavidH1732 gatheredH6950 all IsraelH3478 togetherH6950, from ShihorH7883 of EgyptH4714 even unto the enteringH935 of HemathH2574, to bringH935 the arkH727 of GodH430 from KirjathjearimH7157.
And DavidH1732 went upH5927, and all IsraelH3478, to BaalahH1173, that is, to KirjathjearimH7157, which belonged to JudahH3063, to bring upH5927 thence the arkH727 of GodH430 the LORDH3068, that dwellethH3427 between the cherubimsH3742, whose nameH8034 is calledH7121 on it.
And they carriedH7392 the arkH727 of GodH430 in a newH2319 cartH5699 out of the houseH1004 of AbinadabH41: and UzzaH5798 and AhioH283 draveH5090 the cartH5699. {carried…: Heb. made the ark to ride}
And DavidH1732 and all IsraelH3478 playedH7832 beforeH6440 GodH430 with all their mightH5797, and with singingH7892, and with harpsH3658, and with psalteriesH5035, and with timbrelsH8596, and with cymbalsH4700, and with trumpetsH2689. {singing: Heb. songs}
And when they cameH935 unto the threshingfloorH1637 of ChidonH3592, UzzaH5798 put forthH7971 his handH3027 to holdH270 the arkH727; for the oxenH1241 stumbledH8058. {Chidon: also called Nachon, 2.Sam.6.6.} {stumbled: or, shook it}
And the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against UzzaH5798, and he smoteH5221 him, because he putH7971 his handH3027 to the arkH727: and there he diedH4191 beforeH6440 GodH430.
And DavidH1732 was displeasedH2734, because the LORDH3068 had madeH6555 a breachH6556 upon UzzaH5798: wherefore that placeH4725 is calledH7121 PerezuzzaH6560 to this dayH3117. {Perezuzza: that is, The breach of Uzza}
And DavidH1732 was afraidH3372 of GodH430 that dayH3117, sayingH559, HowH1963 shall I bringH935 the arkH727 of GodH430 home to me?
So DavidH1732 broughtH5493 not the arkH727 home to himself to the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, but carried it asideH5186 into the houseH1004 of ObededomH5654 the GittiteH1663. {brought: Heb. removed}
And the arkH727 of GodH430 remainedH3427 with the familyH1004 of ObededomH5654 in his houseH1004 threeH7969 monthsH2320. And the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 the houseH1004 of ObededomH5654, and all that he had.
And they carriedH7392 the arkH727 of GodH430 in a newH2319 cartH5699 out of the houseH1004 of AbinadabH41: and UzzaH5798 and AhioH283 draveH5090 the cartH5699. {carried…: Heb. made the ark to ride}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478, If it seem goodH2895 unto you, and that it be of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, let us sendH7971 abroadH6555 unto our brethrenH251 every where, that are leftH7604 in all the landH776 of IsraelH3478, and with them also to the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 which are in their citiesH5892 and suburbsH4054, that they may gatherH6908 themselves unto us: {send…: Heb. break forth and send} {in their…: Heb. in the cities of their suburbs}
And let us bring againH5437 the arkH727 of our GodH430 to us: for we enquiredH1875 not at it in the daysH3117 of SaulH7586. {bring…: Heb. bring about}
And all the congregationH6951 saidH559 that they would do soH6213: for the thingH1697 was rightH3474 in the eyesH5869 of all the peopleH5971.
So DavidH1732 gatheredH6950 all IsraelH3478 togetherH6950, from ShihorH7883 of EgyptH4714 even unto the enteringH935 of HemathH2574, to bringH935 the arkH727 of GodH430 from KirjathjearimH7157.
And DavidH1732 went upH5927, and all IsraelH3478, to BaalahH1173, that is, to KirjathjearimH7157, which belonged to JudahH3063, to bring upH5927 thence the arkH727 of GodH430 the LORDH3068, that dwellethH3427 between the cherubimsH3742, whose nameH8034 is calledH7121 on it.
And they carriedH7392 the arkH727 of GodH430 in a newH2319 cartH5699 out of the houseH1004 of AbinadabH41: and UzzaH5798 and AhioH283 draveH5090 the cartH5699. {carried…: Heb. made the ark to ride}
And DavidH1732 and all IsraelH3478 playedH7832 beforeH6440 GodH430 with all their mightH5797, and with singingH7892, and with harpsH3658, and with psalteriesH5035, and with timbrelsH8596, and with cymbalsH4700, and with trumpetsH2689. {singing: Heb. songs}
Now HiramH2438+H2361 kingH4428 of TyreH6865 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to DavidH1732, and timberH6086 of cedarsH730, with masonsH7023 and carpentersH2796, to buildH1129 him an houseH1004.
Before I was afflictedH6031 I went astrayH7683: but now have I keptH8104 thy wordH565.
It is betterH2896 to trustH2620 in the LORDH3068 than to put confidenceH982 in manH120.
It is betterH2896 to trustH2620 in the LORDH3068 than to put confidenceH982 in princesH5081.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, FearH3372 ye not, stand stillH3320, and seeH7200 the salvationH3444 of the LORDH3068, which he will shewH6213 to you to dayH3117: for the EgyptiansH4714 whom ye have seenH7200 to dayH3117, ye shall seeH7200 them againH3254 no more forH5704 everH5769. {for the…: or, for whereas ye have seen the Egyptians to day}
And he saidH559, HearkenH7181 ye, all JudahH3063, and ye inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and thou kingH4428 JehoshaphatH3092, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto you, Be not afraidH3372 nor dismayedH2865 by reasonH6440 of this greatH7227 multitudeH1995; for the battleH4421 is not yours, but God'sH430.
To morrowH4279 go ye downH3381 against them: behold, they come upH5927 by the cliffH4608 of ZizH6732; and ye shall findH4672 them at the endH5490 of the brookH5158, beforeH6440 the wildernessH4057 of JeruelH3385. {cliff: Heb. ascent} {brook: or, valley}
Ye shall not need to fightH3898 in thisH2063 battle: setH3320 yourselves, standH5975 ye still, and seeH7200 the salvationH3444 of the LORDH3068 with you, O JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389: fearH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865; to morrowH4279 go outH3318 againstH6440 them: for the LORDH3068 will be with you.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of MidianH4080 sevenH7651 yearsH8141.
And the handH3027 of MidianH4080 prevailedH5810 against IsraelH3478: and becauseH6440 of the MidianitesH4080 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 madeH6213 them the densH4492 which are in the mountainsH2022, and cavesH4631, and strong holdsH4679. {prevailed: Heb. was strong}
And so it was, when IsraelH3478 had sownH2232, that the MidianitesH4080 came upH5927, and the AmalekitesH6002, and the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924, even they came upH5927 against them;
And they encampedH2583 against them, and destroyedH7843 the increaseH2981 of the earthH776, till thou comeH935 unto GazaH5804, and leftH7604 no sustenanceH4241 for IsraelH3478, neither sheepH7716, nor oxH7794, nor assH2543. {sheep: or goat}
For they came upH5927 with their cattleH4735 and their tentsH168, and they cameH935+H935 asH1767 grasshoppersH697 for multitudeH7230; for both they and their camelsH1581 were without numberH4557: and they enteredH935 into the landH776 to destroyH7843 it.
And IsraelH3478 was greatlyH3966 impoverishedH1809 becauseH6440 of the MidianitesH4080; and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068.
And it came to pass, when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068 becauseH182 of the MidianitesH4080,
That the LORDH3068 sentH7971 a prophetH376+H5030 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, which saidH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I brought you upH5927 from EgyptH4714, and brought you forthH3318 out of the houseH1004 of bondageH5650; {a prophet: Heb. a man a prophet}
And I deliveredH5337 you out of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714, and out of the handH3027 of all that oppressedH3905 you, and drave them outH1644 from beforeH6440 you, and gaveH5414 you their landH776;
And I saidH559 unto you, I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430; fearH3372 not the godsH430 of the AmoritesH567, in whose landH776 ye dwellH3427: but ye have not obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963.
And there cameH935 an angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, and satH3427 under an oakH424 which was in OphrahH6084, that pertained unto JoashH3101 the AbiezriteH33: and his sonH1121 GideonH1439 threshedH2251 wheatH2406 by the winepressH1660, to hideH5127 it fromH6440 the MidianitesH4080. {Gideon: Gr. Gedeon} {to hide…: Heb. to cause it to flee}
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto him, and saidH559 unto him, The LORDH3068 is with thee, thou mightyH1368 man of valourH2428.
And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto him, OhH994 my LordH113, ifH3426 the LORDH3068 be with us, why then is all this befallenH4672 us? and where be all his miraclesH6381 which our fathersH1 toldH5608 us of, sayingH559, Did not the LORDH3068 bring us upH5927 from EgyptH4714? but now the LORDH3068 hath forsakenH5203 us, and deliveredH5414 us into the handsH3709 of the MidianitesH4080.
And the LORDH3068 lookedH6437 upon him, and saidH559, GoH3212 in this thy mightH3581, and thou shalt saveH3467 IsraelH3478 from the handH3709 of the MidianitesH4080: have not I sentH7971 thee?
And he saidH559 unto him, OhH994 my LordH136, wherewithH4100 shall I saveH3467 IsraelH3478? behold, my familyH504+H505 is poorH1800 in ManassehH4519, and I am the leastH6810 in my father'sH1 houseH1004. {my family…: Heb. my thousand is the meanest}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smiteH5221 the MidianitesH4080 as oneH259 manH376.
And he saidH559 unto him, If now I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, then shewH6213 me a signH226 that thou talkestH1696 with me.
DepartH4185 not hence, I pray thee, until I comeH935 unto thee, and bring forthH3318 my presentH4503, and setH3240 it beforeH6440 thee. And he saidH559, I will tarryH3427 until thou come againH7725. {present: or, meat offering}
And GideonH1439 went inH935, and made readyH6213 a kidH5795+H1423, and unleavened cakesH4682 of an ephahH374 of flourH7058: the fleshH1320 he putH7760 in a basketH5536, and he putH7760 the brothH4839 in a potH6517, and brought it outH3318 unto him under the oakH424, and presentedH5066 it. {a kid: Heb. a kid of the goats}
And the angelH4397 of GodH430 saidH559 unto him, TakeH3947 the fleshH1320 and the unleavened cakesH4682, and layH3240 them upon thisH1975 rockH5553, and pour outH8210 the brothH4839. And he didH6213 so.
Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 put forthH7971 the endH7097 of the staffH4938 that was in his handH3027, and touchedH5060 the fleshH1320 and the unleavened cakesH4682; and there rose upH5927 fireH784 out of the rockH6697, and consumedH398 the fleshH1320 and the unleavened cakesH4682. Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 departedH1980 out of his sightH5869.
And when GideonH1439 perceivedH7200 that he was an angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, GideonH1439 saidH559, AlasH162, O LordH136 GODH3069! for becauseH3651 I have seenH7200 an angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 faceH6440 to faceH6440.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, PeaceH7965 be unto thee; fearH3372 not: thou shalt not dieH4191.
Then GideonH1439 builtH1129 an altarH4196 there unto the LORDH3068, and calledH7121 it JehovahshalomH3073: unto this dayH3117 it is yet in OphrahH6084 of the AbiezritesH33. {Jehovahshalom: that is, The LORD send peace}
And it came to pass the same nightH3915, that the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, TakeH3947 thy father'sH1 youngH6499 bullockH7794, even the secondH8145 bullockH6499 of sevenH7651 years oldH8141, and throw downH2040 the altarH4196 of BaalH1168 that thy fatherH1 hath, and cut downH3772 the groveH842 that is by it: {even: or, and}
And buildH1129 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 upon the topH7218 of this rockH4581, in the ordered placeH4634, and takeH3947 the secondH8145 bullockH6499, and offerH5927 a burnt sacrificeH5930 with the woodH6086 of the groveH842 which thou shalt cut downH3772. {rock: Heb. strong place} {in the ordered…: or, in an orderly manner}
Then GideonH1439 tookH3947 tenH6235 menH582 of his servantsH5650, and didH6213 as the LORDH3068 had saidH1696 unto him: and so it was, because he fearedH3372 his father'sH1 householdH1004, and the menH582 of the cityH5892, that he could not doH6213 it by dayH3119, that he didH6213 it by nightH3915.
And when the menH582 of the cityH5892 arose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, behold, the altarH4196 of BaalH1168 was cast downH5422, and the groveH842 was cut downH3772 that was by it, and the secondH8145 bullockH6499 was offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196 that was builtH1129.
And they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH7453, Who hath doneH6213 this thingH1697? And when they enquiredH1875 and askedH1245, they saidH559, GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 hath doneH6213 this thingH1697.
Then the menH582 of the cityH5892 saidH559 unto JoashH3101, Bring outH3318 thy sonH1121, that he may dieH4191: because he hath cast downH5422 the altarH4196 of BaalH1168, and because he hath cut downH3772 the groveH842 that was by it.
And JoashH3101 saidH559 unto all that stoodH5975 against him, Will ye pleadH7378 for BaalH1168? will ye saveH3467 him? he that will pleadH7378 for him, let him be put to deathH4191 whilst it is yet morningH1242: if he be a godH430, let him pleadH7378 for himself, because one hath cast downH5422 his altarH4196.
Therefore on that dayH3117 he calledH7121 him JerubbaalH3378, sayingH559, Let BaalH1168 pleadH7378 against him, because he hath thrown downH5422 his altarH4196. {Jerubbaal: that is, Let Baal plead} {Jerubbesheth: that is, Let the shameful thing plead}
Then all the MidianitesH4080 and the AmalekitesH6002 and the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924 were gatheredH622 togetherH3162, and went overH5674, and pitchedH2583 in the valleyH6010 of JezreelH3157.
But the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 cameH3847 upon GideonH1439, and he blewH8628 a trumpetH7782; and AbiezerH44 was gatheredH2199 afterH310 him. {came…: Heb. clothed} {gathered: Heb. called}
And he sentH7971 messengersH4397 throughout all ManassehH4519; who also was gatheredH2199 afterH310 him: and he sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto AsherH836, and unto ZebulunH2074, and unto NaphtaliH5321; and they came upH5927 to meetH7125 them. {gathered: Heb. called}
And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto GodH430, If thou wiltH3426 saveH3467 IsraelH3478 by mine handH3027, as thou hast saidH1696,
Behold, I will putH3322 a fleeceH1492 of woolH6785 in the floorH1637; and if the dewH2919 be on the fleeceH1492 only, and it be dryH2721 upon all the earthH776 beside, then shall I knowH3045 that thou wilt saveH3467 IsraelH3478 by mine handH3027, as thou hast saidH1696.
And it was so: for he rose up earlyH7925 on the morrowH4283, and thrustH2115 the fleeceH1492 togetherH2115, and wringedH4680 the dewH2919 out of the fleeceH1492, a bowlH5602 fullH4393 of waterH4325.
And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto GodH430, Let not thine angerH639 be hotH2734 against me, and I will speakH1696 but this onceH6471: let me proveH5254, I pray thee, but this onceH6471 with the fleeceH1492; let it now be dryH2721 only upon the fleeceH1492, and upon all the groundH776 let there be dewH2919.
And GodH430 didH6213 so that nightH3915: for it was dryH2721 upon the fleeceH1492 only, and there was dewH2919 on all the groundH776.
Then JerubbaalH3378, who is GideonH1439, and all the peopleH5971 that were with him, rose up earlyH7925, and pitchedH2583 beside the well of HarodH5878: so that the hostH4264 of the MidianitesH4080 were on the north sideH6828 of them, by the hillH1389 of MorehH4176, in the valleyH6010.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto GideonH1439, The peopleH5971 that are with thee are too manyH7227 for me to giveH5414 the MidianitesH4080 into their handsH3027, lest IsraelH3478 vauntH6286 themselves against me, sayingH559, Mine own handH3027 hath savedH3467 me.
Now therefore go toH4994, proclaimH7121 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559, Whosoever is fearfulH3373 and afraidH2730, let him returnH7725 and depart earlyH6852 from mountH2022 GileadH1568. And there returnedH7725 of the peopleH5971 twentyH6242 and twoH8147 thousandH505; and there remainedH7604 tenH6235 thousandH505.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto GideonH1439, The peopleH5971 are yet too manyH7227; bring them downH3381 unto the waterH4325, and I will tryH6884 them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I sayH559 unto thee, This shall goH3212 with thee, the same shall goH3212 with thee; and of whomsoever I sayH559 unto thee, This shall not goH3212 with thee, the same shall not goH3212.
So he brought downH3381 the peopleH5971 unto the waterH4325: and the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto GideonH1439, Every one that lappethH3952 of the waterH4325 with his tongueH3956, as a dogH3611 lappethH3952, him shalt thou setH3322 by himself; likewise every one that boweth downH3766 upon his kneesH1290 to drinkH8354.
And the numberH4557 of them that lappedH3952, putting their handH3027 to their mouthH6310, were threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376: but all the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 bowed downH3766 upon their kneesH1290 to drinkH8354 waterH4325.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto GideonH1439, By the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376 that lappedH3952 will I saveH3467 you, and deliverH5414 the MidianitesH4080 into thine handH3027: and let all the other peopleH5971 goH3212 every manH376 unto his placeH4725.
So the peopleH5971 tookH3947 victualsH6720 in their handH3027, and their trumpetsH7782: and he sentH7971 allH376 the rest of IsraelH3478 every manH376 unto his tentH168, and retainedH2388 those threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376: and the hostH4264 of MidianH4080 was beneath him in the valleyH6010.
And it came to pass the same nightH3915, that the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, AriseH6965, get thee downH3381 unto the hostH4264; for I have deliveredH5414 it into thine handH3027.
But if thou fearH3373 to go downH3381, goH3381 thou with PhurahH6513 thy servantH5288 downH3381 to the hostH4264:
And thou shalt hearH8085 what they sayH1696; and afterwardH310 shall thine handsH3027 be strengthenedH2388 to go downH3381 unto the hostH4264. Then went he downH3381 with PhurahH6513 his servantH5288 unto the outsideH7097 of the armed menH2571 that were in the hostH4264. {armed men: or, ranks by five}
And the MidianitesH4080 and the AmalekitesH6002 and all the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924 layH5307 along in the valleyH6010 like grasshoppersH697 for multitudeH7230; and their camelsH1581 were without numberH4557, as the sandH2344 by the seaH3220 sideH8193 for multitudeH7230.
And when GideonH1439 was comeH935, behold, there was a manH376 that toldH5608 a dreamH2472 unto his fellowH7453, and saidH559, Behold, I dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and, lo, a cakeH6742+H6742 of barleyH8184 breadH3899 tumbledH2015 into the hostH4264 of MidianH4080, and cameH935 unto a tentH168, and smoteH5221 it that it fellH5307, and overturnedH2015+H4605 it, that the tentH168 lay alongH5307.
And his fellowH7453 answeredH6030 and saidH559, This is nothing else save the swordH2719 of GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101, a manH376 of IsraelH3478: for into his handH3027 hath GodH430 deliveredH5414 MidianH4080, and all the hostH4264.
And it was so, when GideonH1439 heardH8085 the tellingH4557 of the dreamH2472, and the interpretationH7667 thereof, that he worshippedH7812, and returnedH7725 into the hostH4264 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559, AriseH6965; for the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 into your handH3027 the hostH4264 of MidianH4080. {interpretation: Heb. breaking}
And he dividedH2673 the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376 into threeH7969 companiesH7218, and he putH5414 a trumpetH7782 in every man's handH3027, with emptyH7386 pitchersH3537, and lampsH3940 withinH8432 the pitchersH3537. {a trumpet…: Heb. trumpets in the hand of all of them} {lamps: or, firebrands, or, torches}
And he saidH559 unto them, LookH7200 on me, and doH6213 likewise: and, behold, when I comeH935 to the outsideH7097 of the campH4264, it shall be that, as I doH6213, so shall ye doH6213.
When I blowH8628 with a trumpetH7782, I and all that are with me, then blowH8628 ye the trumpetsH7782 also on every sideH5439 of all the campH4264, and sayH559, The sword of the LORDH3068, and of GideonH1439.
So GideonH1439, and the hundredH3967 menH376 that were with him, cameH935 unto the outsideH7097 of the campH4264 in the beginningH7218 of the middleH8484 watchH821; and they had butH389 newlyH6965 setH6965 the watchH8104: and they blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782, and brakeH5310 the pitchersH3537 that were in their handsH3027.
And the threeH7969 companiesH7218 blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782, and brakeH7665 the pitchersH3537, and heldH2388 the lampsH3940 in their leftH8040 handsH3027, and the trumpetsH7782 in their rightH3225 handsH3027 to blowH8628 withal: and they criedH7121, The swordH2719 of the LORDH3068, and of GideonH1439.
And they stoodH5975 every manH376 in his place round aboutH5439 the campH4264: and all the hostH4264 ranH7323, and criedH7321, and fledH5127+H5127.
And the threeH7969 hundredH3967 blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782, and the LORDH3068 setH7760 every man'sH376 swordH2719 against his fellowH7453, even throughout all the hostH4264: and the hostH4264 fledH5127 to BethshittahH1029 in ZererathH6888, and to the borderH8193 of AbelmeholahH65, unto TabbathH2888. {in: or, toward} {border: Heb. lip}
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 gathered themselves togetherH6817 out of NaphtaliH5321, and out of AsherH836, and out of all ManassehH4519, and pursuedH7291 afterH310 the MidianitesH4080.
And GideonH1439 sentH7971 messengersH4397 throughout all mountH2022 EphraimH669, sayingH559, Come downH3381 againstH7125 the MidianitesH4080, and takeH3920 before them the watersH4325 unto BethbarahH1012 and JordanH3383. Then all the menH376 of EphraimH669 gathered themselves togetherH6817, and tookH3920 the watersH4325 unto BethbarahH1012 and JordanH3383.
And they tookH3920 twoH8147 princesH8269 of the MidianitesH4080, OrebH6159 and ZeebH2062; and they slewH2026 OrebH6159 upon the rockH6697 OrebH6159, and ZeebH2062 they slewH2026 at the winepressH3342 of ZeebH2062, and pursuedH7291 MidianH4080, and broughtH935 the headsH7218 of OrebH6159 and ZeebH2062 to GideonH1439 on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383.
BecauseG3754 the foolishnessG3474 of GodG2316 isG2076 wiser thanG4680 menG444; andG2532 the weaknessG772 of GodG2316 isG2076 stronger thanG2478 menG444.
LetG1818 no manG3367 deceiveG1818 himselfG1438. If any manG1536 amongG1722 youG5213 seemethG1380 to beG1511 wiseG4680 inG1722 thisG5129 worldG165, let him becomeG1096 a foolG3474, thatG2443 he may beG1096 wiseG4680.
ForG1063 the wisdomG4678 of thisG5127 worldG2889 isG2076 foolishnessG3472 withG3844 GodG2316. ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, He takethG1405 the wiseG4680 inG1722 their ownG846 craftinessG3834.
IfG1487 the wholeG3650 bodyG4983 were an eyeG3788, whereG4226 were the hearingG189? IfG1487 the wholeG3650 were hearingG189, whereG4226 were the smellingG3750?
ButG1161 nowG3570 hathG5087 GodG2316 setG5087 the membersG3196 everyG1538 oneG1520 of themG846 inG1722 the bodyG4983, asG2531 it hath pleased himG2309.
