Below are the key instances where the number 300 is mentioned, along with their contexts and meanings.<br><br>1. <b>Gideon's Army (<a href="/judges/7-7.htm">Judges 7:7</a>):</b> One of the most notable occurrences of the number 300 is in the account of Gideon. In the Book of Judges, God reduces Gideon's army from 32,000 men to just 300 to ensure that the victory over the Midianites would be attributed to divine intervention rather than human strength. <a href="/judges/7-7.htm">Judges 7:7</a> states, "Then the LORD said to Gideon, 'With the three hundred men who lapped I will save you and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the others go home.'" This event underscores themes of faith, reliance on God, and the power of divine providence.<br><br>2. <b>Samson's Foxes (<a href="/judges/15-4.htm">Judges 15:4</a>):</b> Another instance of the number 300 is found in the account of Samson. In an act of vengeance against the Philistines, Samson captures 300 foxes, ties their tails together in pairs with torches, and releases them into the Philistines' grain fields, vineyards, and olive groves, causing widespread destruction. <a href="/judges/15-4.htm">Judges 15:4</a> records, "Then Samson went out and caught three hundred foxes, and he took torches, turned the foxes tail to tail, and put a torch between each pair of tails." This act of retribution highlights Samson's role as a judge and deliverer of Israel, albeit through unconventional and violent means.<br><br>3. <b>The Value of Spikenard (<a href="/john/12-3.htm">John 12:3-5</a>):</b> In the New Testament, the number 300 is mentioned in the context of the anointing of Jesus by Mary of Bethany. She anoints Jesus' feet with a costly perfume made of pure nard. Judas Iscariot, who would later betray Jesus, objects to this act, suggesting that the perfume could have been sold for 300 denarii and the money given to the poor. <a href="/john/12-5.htm">John 12:5</a> states, "Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?" This incident highlights themes of devotion, sacrifice, and the foreshadowing of Jesus' burial.<br><br>4. <b>Solomon's Shields (<a href="/1_kings/10-17.htm">1 Kings 10:17</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/9-16.htm">2 Chronicles 9:16</a>):</b> King Solomon made 300 small shields of hammered gold, each weighing three minas of gold. These shields were part of the opulent decorations in Solomon's palace and symbolized the wealth and splendor of his reign. <a href="/1_kings/10-17.htm">1 Kings 10:17</a> notes, "He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold, with three minas of gold in each shield, and the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon." This reflects the prosperity and grandeur of Solomon's kingdom, as well as the fulfillment of God's promise of wisdom and wealth to Solomon.<br><br>5. <b>The Ark of Noah (<a href="/genesis/6-15.htm">Genesis 6:15</a>):</b> Although not directly related to the number 300, the dimensions of Noah's Ark include a length of 300 cubits. <a href="/genesis/6-15.htm">Genesis 6:15</a> provides the instructions given by God: "And this is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high." The use of the number 300 in this context signifies the scale and magnitude of the ark, which was to preserve life during the Flood.<br><br>In biblical numerology, the number 300 can symbolize completeness or divine deliverance, as seen in the accounts of Gideon and Samson. Each occurrence of the number 300 in the Bible carries its own unique message and contributes to the broader narrative of God's interaction with humanity.<a name="cnc" id="cnc"></a><div class="vheading">Concordance</div><span class="encheading">300 (4 Occurrences)</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/john/12-5.htm">John 12:5</a></span><br />"Why was not that perfume sold for <span class="boldtext">300</span> shillings and the money given to the poor?" <br /><span class="source">(WEY)</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/genesis/5-22.htm">Genesis 5:22</a></span><br />Enoch walked with God after he became the father of Methuselah three hundred years, and became the father of sons and daughters.<br /><span class="source">(See NIV)</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/2_chronicles/35-8.htm">2 Chronicles 35:8</a></span><br />His princes gave for a freewill offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites.
