07:007:023 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.

07:007:024 And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim,
           saying, come down against the Midianites, and take before them
           the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan.  Then all the men of
           Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto
           Bethbarah and Jordan.

07:007:025 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.

07:008:001 And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us
           thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight
           with the Midianites?  And they did chide with him sharply.

07:008:002 And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of
           you?  Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than
           the vintage of Abiezer?

07:008:003 God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb
           and Zeeb:  and what was I able to do in comparison of you?  Then
           their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.

07:008:004 And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three
           hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.

07:008:005 And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves
           of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint,
           and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.

07:008:006 And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and
           Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto
           thine army?

07:008:007 And Gideon said, Therefore when the lord hath delivered Zebah
           and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with
           the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.

07:008:008 And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them likewise: 
           and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had
           answered him.

07:008:009 And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come
           again in peace, I will break down this tower.

07:008:010 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with
           them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all
           the hosts of the children of the east:  for there fell an
           hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.

07:008:011 And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on
           the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host; for the
           host was secure.
