Judges 7:16-22
16And he dividedH2673 the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376 into threeH7969 companiesH7218 and gaveH5414 each manH3605 a ram’s hornH7782 in one handH3027 and a largeH7386 jarH3537 in the other, containingH8432 a torchH3940.1
17“Watch meH7200 and doH6213H2009 as I doH3651,” Gideon saidH559H413H4480. “When IH595 comeH935 to the outskirtsH7097 of the campH4264H1961, doH6213H3651 exactly asH834 I doH6213. 18When IH595 and allH3605 whoH834 are with meH854 blowH8628 our hornsH7782, then youH859 are alsoH1571 to blowH8628 your hornsH7782 from allH3605 aroundH5439 the campH4264 and shoutH559, ‘For the LORDH3068 and for GideonH1439!’”
19GideonH1439 and the hundredH3967 menH376 with himH854 reachedH935 the outskirtsH7097 of the campH4264 at the beginningH7218 of the middleH8484 watchH821, just afterH389 the changingH6965 of the guardH8104. They blewH8628 their hornsH7782 and brokeH5310 the jarsH3537 thatH834 were in their handsH3027. 20The threeH7969 companiesH7218 blewH8628 their hornsH7782 and shatteredH7665 their jarsH3537. HoldingH2388 the torchesH3940 in their leftH8040 handsH3027 and the hornsH7782H8628 in their rightH3225 handsH3027, they shoutedH7121, “A swordH2719 for the LORDH3068 and for GideonH1439!”
21EachH376 Israelite tookH5975 his positionH8478 aroundH5439 the campH4264, and the entireH3605 Midianite armyH4264 fledH7323, crying outH7321 as they ranH5127. 22And when the threeH7969 hundredH3967 rams’ hornsH7782 soundedH8628, the LORDH3068 setH7760 all the menH376 in the campH4264 against one anotherH7453H3605 with their swordsH2719. The armyH4264 fledH5127 toH5704 Beth-shittahH1029 toward ZererahH68882 asH5704 far as the borderH8193 of Abel-meholahH65 nearH5921 TabbathH2888.
