07:007:010 But if thou fear to go down, go thou with
Phurah thy servant
down
to the host:
07:007:011 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.
07:007:012 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.
07:007:013 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.
07:007:014 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.
07:007:015 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.
07:007:016 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.
07:007:017 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.
07:007:018 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.
07:007:019 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.
07:007:020 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.
07:007:021 And they stood every man in his place round
about the camp;
and
all the host ran, and cried, and fled.
07:007:022 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 Bethshittah in Zererath, and to
the
border
of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath.
