Judges 7:16-24

16And he dividedH2673 the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376 into threeH7969 companiesH7218, and he putH5414 a trumpetH7782 in every man’s handH3027, with emptyH7386 pitchersH3537, and lampsH3940 withinH8432 the pitchersH3537.12 17And he saidH559 unto them, LookH7200 on me, and doH6213 likewise: and, behold, when I comeH935 to the outsideH7097 of the campH4264, it shall be that, as I doH6213, so shall ye doH6213. 18When I blowH8628 with a trumpetH7782, I and all that are with me, then blowH8628 ye the trumpetsH7782 also on every sideH5439 of all the campH4264, and sayH559, The sword of YhwhH3068, and of GideonH1439.

19So GideonH1439, and the hundredH3967 menH376 that were with him, cameH935 unto the outsideH7097 of the campH4264 in the beginningH7218 of the middleH8484 watchH821; and they had butH389 newlyH6965 setH6965 the watchH8104: and they blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782, and brakeH5310 the pitchersH3537 that were in their handsH3027. 20And the threeH7969 companiesH7218 blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782, and brakeH7665 the pitchersH3537, and heldH2388 the lampsH3940 in their leftH8040 handsH3027, and the trumpetsH7782 in their rightH3225 handsH3027 to blowH8628 withal: and they criedH7121, The swordH2719 of YhwhH3068, and of GideonH1439. 21And they stoodH5975 every manH376 in his place round aboutH5439 the campH4264: and all the armyH4264 ranH7323, and criedH7321, and fledH5127. 22And the threeH7969 hundredH3967 blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782, And YhwhH3068 setH7760 every man’sH376 swordH2719 against his fellowH7453, even throughout all the armyH4264: and the armyH4264 fledH5127 to Beth–shittahH1029 in ZererathH6888, and to the borderH8193 of Abel–meholahH65, unto TabbathH2888.34 23And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 gathered themselves togetherH6817 out of NaphtaliH5321, and out of AsherH836, and out of all ManassehH4519, and pursuedH7291 afterH310 the MidianitesH4080.

24And GideonH1439 sentH7971 messengersH4397 throughout all mountH2022 EphraimH669, sayingH559, Come downH3381 againstH7125 the MidianitesH4080, and takeH3920 before them the watersH4325 unto Beth–barahH1012 and JordanH3383. Then all the menH376 of EphraimH669 gathered themselves togetherH6817, and tookH3920 the watersH4325 unto Beth–barahH1012 and JordanH3383.
