Judges 7:9-23
That
same night the Lord said
to him, ‘Get up, attack the camp; for I have given it into your
hand. But if you fear to attack, go down to the camp with your
servant Purah; and you shall hear what they say, and afterwards
your hands shall be strengthened to attack the camp.’ Then he went
down with his servant Purah to the outposts of the armed men that
were in the camp. The Midianites and the Amalekites and all the
people of the east lay along the valley as thick as locusts; and
their camels were without number, countless as the sand on the
seashore.When Gideon arrived, there was a man telling a dream to his
comrade; and he said, ‘I had a dream, and in it a cake of barley
bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came to the tent, and
struck it so that it fell; it turned upside down, and the tent
collapsed.’ And his comrade answered, ‘This is no other than
the sword of Gideon son of Joash, a man of Israel; into his hand God
has given Midian and all the army.’
When
Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, he
worshipped; and he returned to the camp of Israel, and said, ‘Get
up; for the Lord has
given the army of Midian into your hand.’ After he divided the
three hundred men into three companies, and put trumpets into the
hands of all of them, and empty jars, with torches inside the
jars, he said to them, ‘Look at me, and do the same; when I
come to the outskirts of the camp, do as I do. When I blow the
trumpet, I and all who are with me, then you also blow the trumpets
around the whole camp, and shout, “For the Lord and
for Gideon!” ’
So
Gideon and the hundred who were with him came to the outskirts of the
camp at the beginning of the middle watch, when they had just set the
watch; and they blew the trumpets and smashed the jars that were in
their hands. So the three companies blew the trumpets and broke
the jars, holding in their left hands the torches, and in their right
hands the trumpets to blow; and they cried, ‘A sword for
the Lord and
for Gideon!’Every man stood in his place all around the camp, and
all the men in camp ran; they cried out and fled. When they blew
the three hundred trumpets, the Lord set
every man’s sword against his fellow and against all the army; and
the army fled as far as Beth-shittah towards Zererah,as far as the
border of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath. And the men of Israel were
called out from Naphtali and from Asher and from all Manasseh, and
they pursued after the Midianites.
