Judges 7:1-8
Gideon Surprises and Routs the Midianites
Then
Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) and all the troops that were with him
rose early and encamped beside the spring of Harod; and the camp of
Midian was north of them, below the hill of Moreh, in the
valley.
The Lord said
to Gideon, ‘The troops with you are too many for me to give the
Midianites into their hand. Israel would only take the credit away
from me, saying, “My own hand has delivered me.” Now
therefore proclaim this in the hearing of the troops, “Whoever is
fearful and trembling, let him return home.” ’ Thus Gideon
sifted them out; twenty-two thousand returned, and ten thousand
remained.
Then
the Lord said
to Gideon, ‘The troops are still too many; take them down to the
water and I will sift them out for you there. When I say, “This one
shall go with you”, he shall go with you; and when I say, “This
one shall not go with you”, he shall not go.’ So he brought
the troops down to the water; and the Lord said
to Gideon, ‘All those who lap the water with their tongues, as a
dog laps, you shall put to one side; all those who kneel down to
drink, putting their hands to their mouths, you shall put to the
other side.’ The number of those that lapped was three
hundred; but all the rest of the troops knelt down to drink
water.
Then the Lord said
to Gideon, ‘With the three hundred that lapped I will deliver you,
and give the Midianites into your hand. Let all the others go to
their homes.’ So he took the jars of the troops from their
hands, and their trumpets; and he sent all the rest of Israel
back to their own tents, but retained the three hundred. The camp of
Midian was below him in the valley.
