Therefore it shall be that he of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall go with you,’ he shall go with you; but everyone of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/judges/7-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>So he brought the people down to the water. And the LORD said to Gideon, “You shall separate everyone who laps the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, as well as everyone who kneels to drink.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/judges/7-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>Now the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was 300 men; but all the rest of the people kneeled to drink water. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/judges/7-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>And the LORD said to Gideon, “I will deliver you with the 300 men who lapped and will give the Midianites into your hands; so let all the <i>other</i> people go, each man to his home.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/judges/7-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>So the 300 men took the people’s provisions and their trumpets into their hands. And Gideon sent all the <i>other</i> men of Israel, each to his tent, but retained the 300 men; and the camp of Midian was below him in the valley. <p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/judges/7-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Now the same night it came about that the LORD said to him, “Arise, go down against the camp, for I have given it into your hands. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/judges/7-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>“But if you are afraid to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp, <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/judges/7-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>and you will hear what they say; and afterward your hands will be strengthened that you may go down against the camp.” So he went with Purah his servant down to the outposts of the army that was in the camp. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/judges/7-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east were lying in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand on the seashore. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/judges/7-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>When Gideon came, behold, a man was relating a dream to his friend. And he said, “Behold, I had a dream; a loaf of barley bread was tumbling into the camp of Midian, and it came to the tent and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down so that the tent lay flat.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/judges/7-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>And his friend answered and said, “This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel; God has given Midian and all the camp into his hand.” <p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/judges/7-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>And it came about when Gideon heard the account of the dream and its interpretation, that he bowed in worship. He returned to the camp of Israel and said, “Arise, for the LORD has given the camp of Midian into your hands.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/judges/7-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>And he divided the 300 men into three companies, and he put trumpets and empty pitchers into the hands of all of them, with torches inside the pitchers. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/judges/7-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>And he said to them, “Look at me, and do likewise. And behold, when I come to the outskirts of the camp, do as I do. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/judges/7-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>“When I and all who are with me blow the trumpet, then you also blow the trumpets all around the camp, and say, ‘For the LORD and for Gideon.’” <p><b><i>Confusion of the Enemy</i></b><p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/judges/7-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, when they had just posted the watch; and they blew the trumpets and smashed the pitchers that were in their hands. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/judges/7-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>When the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers, they held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands for blowing, and cried, “A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/judges/7-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>And each stood in his place around the camp; and all the army ran, crying out as they fled. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/judges/7-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>And when they blew 300 trumpets, the LORD set the sword of one against another even throughout the whole army; and the army fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the edge of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/judges/7-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>And the men of Israel were summoned from Naphtali and Asher and all Manasseh, and they pursued Midian. <p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/judges/7-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>And Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down against Midian and take the waters before them, as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan.” So all the men of Ephraim were summoned, and they took the waters as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/judges/7-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>And they captured the two leaders of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb, and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and they killed Zeeb at the wine press of Zeeb, while they pursued Midian; and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon from across the Jordan.</div><br /><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif.
