¹ Then Yerubba’al, who is Gid’on, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and encamped beside the spring of Charod; and the camp of the Midianites was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley. ² And the Lord said unto Gid’on, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand: lest Israel should vaunt themselves against me, saying, my own hand hath saved me. ³ Now therefore, do proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gil’ad. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and ten thousand remained. ⁴ And the Lord said unto Gid’on, The people are yet too many; let them go down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I will say unto thee, This one shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee: and of whomsoever I will say unto thee, This one shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. ⁵ So he caused the people to go down unto the water: and the Lord said unto Gid’on, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as the dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that bendeth down upon his knees to drink. ⁶ And the number of those that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people bent down upon their knees to drink water. ⁷ And the Lord said unto Gid’on, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand; and let all the other people go every man unto his place. ⁸ And they took the provision of the people in their hand, and their cornets; and all the rest of Israel he dismissed, every man unto his tent; but those three hundred men he retained: and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley. ⁹ And it came to pass, during the same night, that the Lord said unto him, Arise, get thee down into the camp; for I have delivered it into thy hand. ¹⁰ And if thou fear to go down, then go thou down with Purah thy servant to the camp. ¹¹ And thou shalt hear what they will say; and after that shall thy hands be strengthened, and thou wilt go down unto the camp. And he went down with Purah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that were in the camp. ¹² And the Midianites and the ‘Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like the locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is by the seaside for multitude. ¹³ And when Gid’on was come, behold, a man was telling a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream, and, lo, a baked cake of barley bread was rolling round through the camp of Midian, and came unto the tent, and struck against it so that it fell, and it turned it bottom upward, and the tent thus tumbled down. ¹⁴ And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gid’on the son of Joash, a man of Israel; into whose hand God hath delivered Midian, and the whole camp. ¹⁵ And it was, when Gid’on heard the narration of the dream, and its interpretation, that he prostrated himself, and returned unto the camp of Israel, and said, Arise; for the Lord hath delivered into your hand the camp of Midian. ¹⁶ And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put cornets in the hand of all of them, with empty pitchers, and torches in the pitchers. ¹⁷ And he said unto them, What you see me do, do ye likewise; and, behold, when I am come to the edge of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do. ¹⁸ When I blow the cornet, I and all that are with me, then shall ye blow the cornets also on every side of all the camp, and say, For the Lord, and for Gid’on. ¹⁹ And Gid’on, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the edge of the camp in the bcginning of the middle watch; when they had but newly set the sentinels: and they blew the cornets, and broke the pitchers that were in their hand. ²⁰ And the three companies blew the cornets, and broke the pitchers, and seized with their left hand the torches, and with their right hand the cornets to blow; and they cried, The sword for the Lord, and for Gid’on. ²¹ And they remained standing every man in his place round about the camp; and all in the camp ran, and shouted, and fled. ²² And as the three hundred cornets sounded, the Lord set every man’s sword against his fellow, even throughout all the camp; and those in the camp fled as far as Beth-hashittah to Zererah, up to the border of Abelmecholah, near Tabbath. ²³ And the men of Israel were called together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Menasseh, and they pursued after the Midianites. ²⁴ And Gid’on sent messengers throughout all the mountain of Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and seize from them the waters as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan. And all the men of Ephraim assembled themselves, and seized on the waters as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan. ²⁵ And they captured 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 the Midianites; and the heads of ‘Oreb and Zeeb they brought to Gid’on from the other side of the Jordan.

^{4 (9:3)} For the yoke of their burden, and the staff on their shoulder, the rod of their oppressor, hast thou broken, as on the day of Midian.

¹¹ And to Menasseh belonged in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and its towns, and Yible’am and its towns, together with the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of ‘En-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Ta’anach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, namely the three districts.

⁷ Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek out for me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at ‘En-dor.

³⁷ And the carcass of Izebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Yizre’el; so that they shall not say, This is Izebel.

² And they shall spread them out before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and to which they have prostrated themselves: they shall not be gathered up, and they shall not be buried; dung upon the face of the ground shall they become.

⁴ A death through diseases of famine shall they die; they shall not be lamented for; nor shall they be buried; for dung upon the face of the earth shall they be: and by the sword and by famine shall they come to their end; and their carcasses shall be for food unto the fowls of heaven, and unto the beasts of the earth.

¹⁷ And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk about like the blind, because against the Lord have they sinned: and their blood shall be poured out like the dust, and their flesh like the dung.

²⁵ And they captured 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 the Midianites; and the heads of ‘Oreb and Zeeb they brought to Gid’on from the other side of the Jordan.

¹² And Zebach and Zalmunna’ fled; but he pursued after them, and captured the two kings of Midian, Zebach and Zalmunna’, and all the camp he discomfited. ¹³ And Gid’on the son of Joash returned from the battle before the rising of the sun, ¹⁴ And he caught a young man of the people of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he wrote down for him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, seventy and seven men. ¹⁵ And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold here are Zebach and Zalmunna’, with whom ye derided me, saying, Is the sole of the foot of Zebach and Zalmunna’ now already in thy hand, that we should give unto thy weary men bread? ¹⁶ And he took the elders of the city, and the thorns of the wilderness and briers, and chastised with them the men of Succoth. ¹⁷ And the tower of Penuel he beat down, and slew the men of the city. ¹⁸ And he said unto Zebach and Zalmunna’, What kind of men were those whom ye slew at Tabor! And they answered, As thou art, so were they; one was in form like that of the children of a king. ¹⁹ And he said, They were my brothers, the sons of my mother; as the Lord liveth, if ye had spared them alive, I would not slay you. ²⁰ And he said unto Yether his first-born, Rise up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword; for he was afraid, because he was yet a youth. ²¹ Then said Zebach and Zalmunna’, Rise thou, and fall upon us; for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gid’on arose, and slew Zebach and Zalmunna’; and he took away the crescent ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.

¹¹ And behold, they recompense us, by coming to drive us out of thy inheritance, which thou hast given us to possess.

⁷ They have set on fire thy sanctuary; to the ground have they profaned the dwelling-place of thy name. ⁸ They have said in their heart, We will oppress them altogether: they have burnt up all the places of assembly of God in the land.

^{4 (83:5)} They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; and the name of Israel shall be remembered no more.

⁷ And in the greatness of thy excellency hast thou overthrown those that rose up against thee; thou didst send forth thy wrath, it consumed them as stubble.

¹ To the chief musician upon Ayeleth-hashachar, a psalm of David. ^(22:2) My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from saving me, and from the words of my loud complaint?

⁵ Let them be as chaff before the wind; and may the angel of the Lord cast them forth.

^{4 (44:5)} Thou art my King, O God: ordain salvation for Jacob.

¹ To the chief musician, by David, a Psalm or song. ^(68:2) Oh that God would arise, that his enemies might be scattered, and those that hate him might flee before him. ^{2 (68:3)} As smoke is driven off, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

¹¹ Why withdrawest thou thy hand, and thy right hand? draw it out of thy bosom—exterminate them; ¹² Since thou God art my King from olden days, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

¹² Woe to the raging of many people, who rage like the raging of the seas; and to the noise of nations, that make a noise like the roar of mighty waters! ¹³ The nations will make a noise like the roaring of many waters; but He will rebuke it, and it shall flee afar off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and as thistle-down before the tempest. ¹⁴ At eveningtide, behold, there is trouble; before yet it is morning it is no more. This is the portion of our spoilers, and the lot of those that plunder us.

²⁴ Yes, they were not yet planted; yea, they were not yet sown; yea, their stem had not yet taken root in the earth: when he but breathed upon them, and they withered, and the storm-wind carrieth them away as stubble.

²² For a fire is kindled in my anger, and it burneth unto the lowest deep; and it consumeth the earth with her products, and it setteth on fire the foundations of the mountains.

^{18 (9:17)} For wickedness burneth like the fire; it shall devour the briers and thorns: and it shall kindle a flame in the thickets of the forest, and they shall be shrouded by the wreaths of smoke.

³³ For already of old is Topheth made ready; also this is prepared for the king—deep and wide; its pile hath fire and wood in plenty, the breath of the Lord, like a stream of sulfur, will kindle it into a flame.

¹¹ Ye shall be pregnant with hay, and ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire, which shall devour you. ¹² And the people shall be burnt as lime: as cut-off thorns shall they blaze up in fire.

^{1 (63:19)} Oh that thou mightest rend the heavens, come down: at thy presence would mountains then melt away. ^{2 (64:1)} As fire is kindled on brushwood, as water is made to bubble up by fire—to make thy name known to thy adversaries, that at thy presence nations might tremble!

^{47 (21:3)} And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the Lord, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour in thee every green tree, and every dry tree: the glowing flame shall not be quenched, and there shall be burnt therein all faces from the south to the north. ^{48 (21:4)} And all flesh shall see that I the Lord have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.

⁶ Before his indignation who can stand? and who can subsist before the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken down by him.

¹⁰ For they, like thorns interwoven, and as men made drunken in their drinking bout, shall be entirely consumed as dry stubble.
