Judges 7:19-25
19So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle night watch, when they had just posted the watch; and they blew the trumpets and smashed the pitchers that were in their hands. 20When the three 1units 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 shouted, “A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!” 21And each stood in his place around the camp; and 2all the 3army ran, crying out as they fled. 22And when they blew the three hundred trumpets, the 4Lord set the sword of one against another even throughout the entire 5army; and the 6army fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the edge of 7Abel-meholah, by Tabbath. 23And the men of Israel were summoned from 8Naphtali, Asher, and all Manasseh, and they pursued Midian.
24Then Gideon sent messengers throughout the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down 9against Midian and 10take control of the waters ahead of them, as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan.” So all the men of Ephraim were summoned, and they took control of the waters as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan. 25And they captured the two leaders of Midian, 11Oreb 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 12from across the Jordan.
