1 And|strong="H1980" the|strong="H3588" men|strong="H1980" of|strong="H1697" Ephraim said|strong="H1697" unto|strong="H6213" him|strong="H7121", Why|strong="H4100" hast thou|strong="H6213" served|strong="H6213" us|strong="H6213" thus|strong="H2088", that|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H6213" calledst|strong="H7121" us|strong="H6213" not|strong="H1115", when|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H6213" wentest|strong="H1980" to|strong="H1980" fight|strong="H3898" with|strong="H1980" Midian|strong="H4080"? And|strong="H1980" they|strong="H3588" did|strong="H6213" chide|strong="H7378" with|strong="H1980" him|strong="H7121" sharply|strong="H2394".
2 And|strong="H6213" he|strong="H6213" said unto|strong="H6213" them|strong="H6213", What|strong="H4100" have|strong="H6258" I|strong="H6258" now|strong="H6258" done|strong="H6213" in|strong="H6213" comparison with|strong="H6213" you|strong="H6213"? Is|strong="H4100" not|strong="H3808" the|strong="H6213" gleaning|strong="H5955" of|strong="H6213" the|strong="H6213" grapes|strong="H5955" of|strong="H6213" Ephraim better|strong="H2896" than|strong="H2896" the|strong="H6213" vintage|strong="H1210" of|strong="H6213" Abiezer?
3 God|strong="H5414" hath|strong="H3027" delivered|strong="H5414" into|strong="H5921" your|strong="H5414" hand|strong="H3027" the|strong="H5921" princes|strong="H8269" of|strong="H3027" Midian|strong="H4080", Oreb|strong="H6159" and|strong="H3027" Zeeb|strong="H2062": and|strong="H3027" what|strong="H4100" was|strong="H1697" I|strong="H5414" able|strong="H3201" to|strong="H1696" do|strong="H6213" in|strong="H5921" comparison with|strong="H6213" you|strong="H5414"? Then|strong="H1696" their|strong="H5414" anger|strong="H7307" was|strong="H1697" abated|strong="H7503" toward|strong="H5921" him|strong="H5414", when|strong="H1696" he|strong="H6213" had|strong="H5414" said|strong="H1696" that|strong="H1697".
4 And|strong="H3967" Gideon|strong="H1439" came|strong="H5674" to|strong="H5674" the|strong="H5674" Jordan|strong="H3383", and passed|strong="H5674" over|strong="H5674", he|strong="H1931", and|strong="H3967" the|strong="H5674" three|strong="H7969" hundred|strong="H3967" men that|strong="H1931" were|strong="H7291" with|strong="H5674" him|strong="H1931", faint|strong="H5889", yet|strong="H5889" pursuing|strong="H7291".
5 And|strong="H4428" he|strong="H3588" said unto|strong="H5414" the|strong="H3588" men|strong="H5971" of|strong="H4428" Succoth|strong="H5523", Give|strong="H5414", I|strong="H3588" pray|strong="H4994" you|strong="H3588", loaves|strong="H3899" of|strong="H4428" bread|strong="H3899" unto|strong="H5414" the|strong="H3588" people|strong="H5971" that|strong="H3588" follow|strong="H7291" me|strong="H5414"; for|strong="H3588" they|strong="H1992" are|strong="H1992" faint|strong="H5889", and|strong="H4428" I|strong="H3588" am pursuing|strong="H7291" after|strong="H7291" Zebah|strong="H2078" and|strong="H4428" Zalmunna|strong="H6759", the|strong="H3588" kings|strong="H4428" of|strong="H4428" Midian|strong="H4080".
6 And|strong="H3027" the|strong="H3588" princes|strong="H8269" of|strong="H3027" Succoth|strong="H5523" said, Are|strong="H3027" the|strong="H3588" hands|strong="H3027" of|strong="H3027" Zebah|strong="H2078" and|strong="H3027" Zalmunna|strong="H6759" now|strong="H6258" in|strong="H6635" thy|strong="H5414" hand|strong="H3027", that|strong="H3588" we|strong="H3068" should|strong="H3588" give|strong="H5414" bread|strong="H3899" unto|strong="H5414" thine|strong="H5414" army|strong="H6635"?
7 And|strong="H3068" Gideon|strong="H1439" said|strong="H3651", Therefore|strong="H3651" when|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068" hath|strong="H3068" delivered|strong="H5414" Zebah|strong="H2078" and|strong="H3068" Zalmunna|strong="H6759" into|strong="H3027" my|strong="H5414" hand|strong="H3027", then|strong="H3651" I|strong="H5414" will|strong="H3068" tear|strong="H1758" your|strong="H3068" flesh|strong="H1320" with|strong="H3068" the|strong="H5414" thorns|strong="H6975" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H5414" wilderness|strong="H4057" and|strong="H3068" with|strong="H3068" briers|strong="H1303".
8 And|strong="H6030" he|strong="H8033" went|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" thence|strong="H8033" to|strong="H1696" Penuel|strong="H6439", and|strong="H6030" spake|strong="H1696" unto|strong="H1696" them|strong="H5927" in|strong="H1696" like|strong="H5927" manner; and|strong="H6030" the|strong="H5927" men of|strong="H1696" Penuel|strong="H6439" answered|strong="H6030" him|strong="H6030" as|strong="H5927" the|strong="H5927" men of|strong="H1696" Succoth|strong="H5523" had|strong="H5523" answered|strong="H6030".
9 And|strong="H7725" he|strong="H2088" spake also|strong="H1571" unto|strong="H7725" the|strong="H7725" men of|strong="H4026" Penuel|strong="H6439", saying, When|strong="H7725" I|strong="H2088" come|strong="H7725" again|strong="H7725" in|strong="H7725" peace|strong="H7965", I|strong="H2088" will|strong="H1571" break|strong="H5422" down|strong="H5422" this|strong="H2088" tower|strong="H4026".
10 Now Zebah|strong="H2078" and|strong="H3967" Zalmunna|strong="H6759" were|strong="H1121" in|strong="H1121" Karkor|strong="H7174", and|strong="H3967" their|strong="H3605" hosts|strong="H4264" with|strong="H5973" them|strong="H5307", about|strong="H3605" fifteen|strong="H2568" thousand men|strong="H1121", all|strong="H3605" that|strong="H3605" were|strong="H1121" left|strong="H3498" of|strong="H1121" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" host|strong="H4264" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3605" children|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3605" east|strong="H6924"; for|strong="H1121" there|strong="H3605" fell|strong="H5307" a|strong="H3068" hundred|strong="H3967" and|strong="H3967" twenty|strong="H6242" thousand men|strong="H1121" that|strong="H3605" drew|strong="H8025" sword|strong="H2719".
11 And|strong="H1870" Gideon|strong="H1439" went|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" by|strong="H1870" the|strong="H5221" way|strong="H1870" of|strong="H1870" them|strong="H5221" that|strong="H1961" dwelt|strong="H7931" in|strong="H7931" tents|strong="H4264" on|strong="H1870" the|strong="H5221" east|strong="H6924" of|strong="H1870" Nobah|strong="H5025" and|strong="H1870" Jogbehah|strong="H3011", and|strong="H1870" smote|strong="H5221" the|strong="H5221" host|strong="H4264"; for|strong="H1961" the|strong="H5221" host|strong="H4264" was|strong="H1961" secure.
12 And|strong="H4428" Zebah|strong="H2078" and|strong="H4428" Zalmunna|strong="H6759" fled|strong="H5127"; and|strong="H4428" he|strong="H3605" pursued|strong="H7291" after|strong="H7291" them|strong="H8147"; and|strong="H4428" he|strong="H3605" took|strong="H3920" the|strong="H3605" two|strong="H8147" kings|strong="H4428" of|strong="H4428" Midian|strong="H4080", Zebah|strong="H2078" and|strong="H4428" Zalmunna|strong="H6759", and|strong="H4428" discomfited|strong="H2729" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" host|strong="H4264".
13 And|strong="H1121" Gideon|strong="H1439" the|strong="H4480" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Joash|strong="H3101" returned|strong="H7725" from|strong="H4480" the|strong="H4480" battle|strong="H4421" from|strong="H4480" the|strong="H4480" ascent|strong="H4608" of|strong="H1121" Heres.
14 And|strong="H5288" he|strong="H2205" caught|strong="H3920" a|strong="H3068" young|strong="H5288" man|strong="H5288" of|strong="H8269" the|strong="H3920" men|strong="H5288" of|strong="H8269" Succoth|strong="H5523", and|strong="H5288" inquired|strong="H7592" of|strong="H8269" him|strong="H7592": and|strong="H5288" he|strong="H2205" described|strong="H3789" for|strong="H7592" him|strong="H7592" the|strong="H3920" princes|strong="H8269" of|strong="H8269" Succoth|strong="H5523", and|strong="H5288" the|strong="H3920" elders|strong="H2205" thereof, seventy|strong="H7657" and|strong="H5288" seven|strong="H7651" men|strong="H5288".
15 And|strong="H3027" he|strong="H3588" came unto|strong="H5414" the|strong="H3588" men of|strong="H3027" Succoth|strong="H5523", and|strong="H3027" said, Behold|strong="H2009" Zebah|strong="H2078" and|strong="H3027" Zalmunna|strong="H6759", concerning whom|strong="H3588" ye|strong="H5414" did taunt|strong="H2778" me|strong="H5414", saying, Are|strong="H3027" the|strong="H3588" hands|strong="H3027" of|strong="H3027" Zebah|strong="H2078" and|strong="H3027" Zalmunna|strong="H6759" now|strong="H6258" in|strong="H3899" thy|strong="H5414" hand|strong="H3027", that|strong="H3588" we|strong="H3068" should|strong="H3588" give|strong="H5414" bread|strong="H3899" unto|strong="H5414" thy|strong="H5414" men that|strong="H3588" are|strong="H3027" weary|strong="H3286"?
16 And|strong="H5892" he|strong="H5892" took|strong="H3947" the|strong="H3947" elders|strong="H2205" of|strong="H5892" the|strong="H3947" city|strong="H5892", and|strong="H5892" thorns|strong="H6975" of|strong="H5892" the|strong="H3947" wilderness|strong="H4057" and|strong="H5892" briers|strong="H1303", and|strong="H5892" with|strong="H3045" them|strong="H3947" he|strong="H5892" taught|strong="H3045" the|strong="H3947" men|strong="H2205" of|strong="H5892" Succoth|strong="H5523".
17 And|strong="H5892" he|strong="H5892" brake down|strong="H5422" the|strong="H2026" tower|strong="H4026" of|strong="H5892" Penuel|strong="H6439", and|strong="H5892" slew|strong="H2026" the|strong="H2026" men of|strong="H5892" the|strong="H2026" city|strong="H5892".
18 Then|strong="H4428" said he|strong="H4428" unto|strong="H1121" Zebah|strong="H2078" and|strong="H1121" Zalmunna|strong="H6759", What manner of|strong="H1121" men|strong="H1121" were|strong="H1121" they|strong="H4428" whom ye|strong="H2026" slew|strong="H2026" at|strong="H4428" Tabor|strong="H8396"? And|strong="H1121" they|strong="H4428" answered, As|strong="H3644" thou|strong="H3644" art, so|strong="H3644" were|strong="H1121" they|strong="H4428"; each one|strong="H1121" resembled|strong="H8389" the|strong="H2026" children|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" a|strong="H3068" king|strong="H4428".
19 And|strong="H1121" he|strong="H3068" said, They|strong="H1992" were|strong="H1121" my|strong="H3068" brethren, the|strong="H3068" sons|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" my|strong="H3068" mother: as|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068" liveth|strong="H2416", if|strong="H3863" ye|strong="H2026" had|strong="H3068" saved|strong="H2421" them|strong="H1992" alive|strong="H2416", I|strong="H3808" would|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" slay|strong="H2026" you|strong="H3808".
20 And|strong="H6965" he|strong="H3588" said unto|strong="H6965" Jether|strong="H3500" his|strong="H6965" firstborn|strong="H1060", Up|strong="H6965", and|strong="H6965" slay|strong="H2026" them|strong="H2026". But|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3588" youth|strong="H5288" drew|strong="H8025" not|strong="H3808" his|strong="H6965" sword|strong="H2719"; for|strong="H3588" he|strong="H3588" feared|strong="H3372", because|strong="H3588" he|strong="H3588" was|strong="H5288" yet|strong="H5750" a|strong="H3068" youth|strong="H5288".
21 Then|strong="H6965" Zebah|strong="H2078" and|strong="H6965" Zalmunna|strong="H6759" said, Rise|strong="H6965" thou|strong="H3588", and|strong="H6965" fall|strong="H6293" upon|strong="H6293" us|strong="H3588"; for|strong="H3588" as|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3588" man is|strong="H3588", so|strong="H3947" is|strong="H3588" his|strong="H3947" strength|strong="H1369". And|strong="H6965" Gideon|strong="H1439" arose|strong="H6965", and|strong="H6965" slew|strong="H2026" Zebah|strong="H2078" and|strong="H6965" Zalmunna|strong="H6759", and|strong="H6965" took|strong="H3947" the|strong="H3588" crescents that|strong="H3588" were|strong="H1581" on|strong="H6965" their|strong="H3947" camels|strong="H1581"’ necks|strong="H6677".
22 Then|strong="H1571" the|strong="H3588" men|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478" said unto|strong="H3478" Gideon|strong="H1439", Rule|strong="H4910" thou|strong="H3027" over|strong="H3027" us|strong="H3588", both|strong="H1571" thou|strong="H3027", and|strong="H1121" thy|strong="H3027" son|strong="H1121", and|strong="H1121" thy|strong="H3027" son|strong="H1121"’s son|strong="H1121" also|strong="H1571"; for|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H3027" hast saved|strong="H3467" us|strong="H3588" out|strong="H3027" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3588" hand|strong="H3027" of|strong="H1121" Midian|strong="H4080".
23 And|strong="H1121" Gideon|strong="H1439" said unto|strong="H3068" them|strong="H1121", I|strong="H3808" will|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" rule|strong="H4910" over|strong="H4910" you|strong="H3808", neither|strong="H3808" shall|strong="H3068" my|strong="H3068" son|strong="H1121" rule|strong="H4910" over|strong="H4910" you|strong="H3808": Jehovah|strong="H3068" shall|strong="H3068" rule|strong="H4910" over|strong="H4910" you|strong="H3808".
24 And|strong="H2091" Gideon|strong="H1439" said unto|strong="H5414" them|strong="H5414", I|strong="H3588" would make|strong="H5414" a|strong="H3068" request|strong="H7596" of|strong="H4480" you|strong="H3588", that|strong="H3588" ye|strong="H5414" would give|strong="H5414" me|strong="H5414" every|strong="H5414" man the|strong="H3588" earrings|strong="H5141" of|strong="H4480" his|strong="H5414" spoil|strong="H7998". (For|strong="H3588" they|strong="H1992" had|strong="H3588" golden|strong="H2091" earrings|strong="H5141", because|strong="H3588" they|strong="H1992" were|strong="H1992" Ishmaelites|strong="H3459".)
25 And|strong="H8033" they|strong="H8033" answered, We|strong="H8033" will|strong="H5414" willingly|strong="H5414" give|strong="H5414" them|strong="H5414". And|strong="H8033" they|strong="H8033" spread|strong="H6566" a|strong="H3068" garment|strong="H8071", and|strong="H8033" did cast|strong="H7993" therein|strong="H8033" every|strong="H5414" man the|strong="H5414" earrings|strong="H5141" of|strong="H7998" his|strong="H5414" spoil|strong="H7998".
26 And|strong="H3967" the|strong="H5921" weight|strong="H4948" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H5921" golden|strong="H2091" earrings|strong="H5141" that|strong="H4428" he|strong="H4480" requested|strong="H7592" was|strong="H1961" a|strong="H3068" thousand and|strong="H3967" seven|strong="H7651" hundred|strong="H3967" shekels of|strong="H4428" gold|strong="H2091"; besides|strong="H4480" the|strong="H5921" crescents, and|strong="H3967" the|strong="H5921" pendants|strong="H5188", and|strong="H3967" the|strong="H5921" purple raiment that|strong="H4428" was|strong="H1961" on|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" kings|strong="H4428" of|strong="H4428" Midian|strong="H4080", and|strong="H3967" besides|strong="H4480" the|strong="H5921" chains|strong="H6060" that|strong="H4428" were|strong="H1961" about|strong="H1961" their|strong="H5921" camels|strong="H1581"’ necks|strong="H6677".
27 And|strong="H3478" Gideon|strong="H1439" made|strong="H6213" an|strong="H6213" ephod thereof|strong="H5892", and|strong="H3478" put|strong="H6213" it|strong="H6213" in|strong="H3478" his|strong="H3605" city|strong="H5892", even|strong="H6213" in|strong="H3478" Ophrah|strong="H6084": and|strong="H3478" all|strong="H3605" Israel|strong="H3478" played|strong="H2181" the|strong="H3605" harlot|strong="H2181" after|strong="H1961" it|strong="H6213" there|strong="H8033"; and|strong="H3478" it|strong="H6213" became|strong="H1961" a|strong="H3068" snare|strong="H4170" unto|strong="H6213" Gideon|strong="H1439", and|strong="H3478" to|strong="H3478" his|strong="H3605" house|strong="H1004".
28 So|strong="H3808" Midian|strong="H4080" was|strong="H3478" subdued|strong="H3665" before|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" children|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478", and|strong="H1121" they|strong="H3117" lifted|strong="H5375" up|strong="H5375" their|strong="H5375" heads|strong="H7218" no|strong="H3808" more|strong="H3254".
