H376
And the men
H669
of Ephraim
H559 [H8799]
said
H4100
to him, Why hast thou
H6213 [H8804]
done this
H1697
to us,
H7121 [H8800]
that thou didst call
H1980 [H8804]
us not, when thou wentest
H3898 [H8736]
to fight
H4080
with the Midianites?
H7378 [H8799]
And they did contend
H2394
with him sharply.
2
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H6213 [H8804]
to them, What have I done
H5955
now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning
H669
of the grapes of Ephraim
H2896
better
H1210
than the vintage
H44
of Abiezer?
3
H430
God
H5414 [H8804]
hath given
H3027
into your hands
H8269
the princes
H4080
of Midian,
H6159
Oreb
H2062
and Zeeb:
H3201 [H8804]
and what was I able
H6213 [H8800]
to do
H1697
in comparison of you? Then, when he had said
H1696 [H8763]
that,
H7307
their spirit
H7503 [H8804]
toward him abated.
4
H1439
And Gideon
H935 [H8799]
came
H3383
to Jordan,
H5674 [H8802]
and passed over,
H7969
he, and the three
H3967
hundred
H376
men
H5889
that were with him, faint,
H7291 [H8802]
yet pursuing them.
5
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H582
to the men
H5523
of Succoth,
H5414 [H8798]
Give,
H3603
I pray you, loaves
H3899
of bread
H5971
to the people
H7272
that follow
H5889
me; for they are faint,
H7291 H310 [H8802]
and I am pursuing
H2078
Zebah
H6759
and Zalmunna,
H4428
kings
H4080
of Midian.
6
H8269
And the princes
H5523
of Succoth
H559 [H8799]
said,
H3709
Are the palms
H2078
of Zebah
H6759
and Zalmunna
H3027
now in thine hand,
H5414 [H8799]
that we should give
H3899
bread
H6635
to thy army?
7
H1439
And Gideon
H559 [H8799]
said,
H3068
Therefore when the LORD
H5414 [H8800]
hath given
H2078
Zebah
H6759
and Zalmunna
H3027
into my hand,
H1758 [H8804]
then I will tear
H1320
your flesh
H6975
with the thorns
H4057
of the wilderness
H1303
and with briers.
8
H5927 [H8799]
And he went up
H6439
from there to Penuel,
H1696 [H8762]
and spoke
H2063
to them likewise:
H582
and the men
H6439
of Penuel
H6030 [H8799]
answered
H582
him as the men
H5523
of Succoth
H6030 [H8804]
had answered him.
9
H559 [H8799]
And he spoke
H582
also to the men
H6439
of Penuel,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H7725 [H8800]
When I come again
H7965
in peace,
H5422 [H8799]
I will break down
H4026
this tower.
10
H2078
Now Zebah
H6759
and Zalmunna
H7174
were in Karkor,
H4264
and their hosts
H2568 H6240
with them, about fifteen
H505
thousand
H3498 [H8737]
men, all that were left
H4264
of all the hosts
H1121
of the sons
H6924
of the east:
H5307 [H8802]
for there fell
H3967
an hundred
H6242
and twenty
H505
thousand
H376
men
H8025 [H8802]
that drew
H2719
sword.
11
H1439
And Gideon
H5927 [H8799]
went up
H1870
by the way
H7931 [H8803]
of them that dwelt
H168
in tents
H6924
on the east
H5025
of Nobah
H3011
and Jogbehah,
H5221 [H8686]
and smote
H4264
the host:
H4264
for the host
H983
was safe.
12
H2078
And when Zebah
H6759
and Zalmunna
H5127 [H8799]
fled,
H7291 H310 [H8799]
he pursued
H3920 [H8799]
them, and took
H8147
the two
H4428
kings
H4080
of Midian,
H2078
Zebah
H6759
and Zalmunna,
H2729 [H8689]
and overcame
H4264
all the host.
13
H1439
And Gideon
H1121
the son
H3101
of Joash
H7725 [H8799]
returned
H4421
from battle
H4608
before
H2775
the sun had risen,
14
H3920 [H8799]
And caught
H5288
a young man
H582
of the men
H5523
of Succoth,
H7592 [H8799]
and enquired
H3789 [H8799]
of him: and he described
H8269
for him the princes
H5523
of Succoth,
H2205
and its elders,
H7657
even seventy
H7651
and seven
H376
men.
15
H935 [H8799]
And he came
H582
to the men
H5523
of Succoth,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H2078
Behold Zebah
H6759
and Zalmunna,
H2778 [H8765]
with whom ye upbraided
H559 [H8800]
me, saying,
H3709
Are the palms
H2078
of Zebah
H6759
and Zalmunna
H3027
now in thine hand,
H5414 [H8799]
that we should give
H3899
bread
H582
to thy men
H3287
that are weary?
16
H3947 [H8799]
And he took
H2205
the elders
H5892
of the city,
H6975
and thorns
H4057
of the wilderness
H1303
and briers,
H3045 [H8686]
and with them he taught
H582
the men
H5523
of Succoth.
17
H5422 [H8804]
And he beat down
H4026
the tower
H6439
of Penuel,
H2026 [H8799]
and slew
H582
the men
H5892
of the city.
18
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H2078
he to Zebah
H6759
and Zalmunna,
H375
What
H582
manner of men
H2026 [H8804]
were they whom ye slew
H8396
at Tabor?
H559 [H8799]
And they answered,
H3644
As thou
H259
art, so were they; each one
H8389
resembled
H1121
the sons
H4428
of a king.
19
H559 [H8799]
And he said,
H251
They were my brethren,
H1121
even the sons
H517
of my mother:
H3068
as the LORD
H2416
liveth,
H3863
if
H2421 [H8689]
ye had saved them alive,
H2026 [H8804]
I would not slay you.
20
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H3500
to Jether
H1060
his firstborn,
H6965 [H8798]
Arise,
H2026 [H8798]
and slay
H5288
them. But the youth
H8025 [H8804]
drew
H2719
not his sword:
H3372 [H8804]
for he feared,
H5288
because he was yet a youth.
21
H2078
Then Zebah
H6759
and Zalmunna
H559 [H8799]
said,
H6965 [H8798]
Rise
H6293 [H8798]
thou, and fall
H376
upon us: for as the man
H1369
is, so is his strength.
H1439
And Gideon
H6965 [H8799]
arose,
H2026 [H8799]
and slew
H2078
Zebah
H6759
and Zalmunna,
H3947 [H8799]
and took away
H7720
the ornaments
H1581
that were on their camels'
H6677
necks.
22
H376
Then the men
H3478
of Israel
H559 [H8799]
said
H1439
to Gideon,
H4910 [H8798]
Rule
H1121
thou over us, both thou, and thy son,
H1121
and thy son's
H1121
son
H3467 [H8689]
also: for thou hast liberated
H3027
us from the hand
H4080
of Midian.
23
H1439
And Gideon
H559 [H8799]
said
H4910 [H8799]
to them, I will not rule
H1121
over you, neither shall my son
H4910 [H8799]
rule
H3068
over you: the LORD
H4910 [H8799]
shall rule over you.
24
H1439
And Gideon
H559 [H8799]
said
H7592 [H8799]
to them, I would desire
H7596
a request
H5414 [H8798]
of you, that you would give
H376
me every man
H5141
the earrings
H7998
of his spoil.
H2091
(For they had golden
H5141
earrings,
H3459
because they were Ishmaelites.)
25
H559 [H8799]
And they answered,
H5414 [H8800]
We will willingly
H5414 [H8799]
give
H6566 [H8799]
them. And they spread
H8071
a garment,
H7993 [H8686]
and cast
H376
into it every man
H5141
the earrings
H7998
of his spoil.
26
H4948
And the weight
H2091
of the golden
H5141
earrings
H7592 [H8804]
that he requested
H505
was a thousand
H7651
and seven
H3967
hundred
H2091
shekels of gold;
H7720
besides ornaments,
H5188
and collars,
H713
and purple
H899
raiment
H4428
that was on the kings
H4080
of Midian,
H6060
and besides the chains
H1581
that were about their camels'
H6677
necks.
27
H1439
And Gideon
H6213 [H8799]
made
H646
of it an ephod,
H3322 [H8686]
and put
H5892
it in his city,
H6084
even in Ophrah:
H3478
and all Israel
H2181 H310 [H8799]
went there playing the harlot with
H4170
it: which thing became a snare
H1439
to Gideon,
H1004
and to his house.
28
H4080
Thus was Midian
H3665 [H8735]
subdued
H6440
at the face of
H1121
the sons
H3478
of Israel,
H5375 [H8800]
so that they raised
H7218
their heads
H3254 [H8804]
no more.
H776
And the land
H8252 [H8799]
was in quietness
H705
forty
H8141
years
H3117
in the days
H1439
of Gideon.
29
H3378
And Jerubbaal
H1121
the son
H3101
of Joash
H3212 [H8799]
went
H3427 [H8799]
and dwelt
H1004
in his own house.
30
H1439
And Gideon
H7657
had seventy
H1121
sons
H3409
of his thigh
H3318 [H8802]
begotten:
H7227
for he had many
H802
wives.
31
H6370
And his concubine
H7927
that was in Shechem,
H3205 [H8804]
she also bore
H1121
him a son,
H8034
whose name
H7760 [H8799]
he called
H40
Abimelech.
32
H1439
And Gideon
H1121
the son
H3101
of Joash
H4191 [H8799]
died
H2896
in a good
H7872
old age,
H6912 [H8735]
and was buried
H6913
in the burying-place
H3101
of Joash
H1
his father,
H6084
in Ophrah
H33
of the Abiezrites.
33
H1439
And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon
H4191 [H8804]
was dead,
H1121
that the sons
H3478
of Israel
H7725 [H8799]
turned again,
H2181 H310 [H8799]
and went playing the harlot with
H1168
Baalim,
H7760 [H8799]
and made
H1170
Baalberith
H430
their god.
