Judges:6:11-16

*
And there came an angel of the LORD ,
and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah ,
that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite :
and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress ,
to hide it from the Midianites .
*
And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him ,
and said unto him ,
The LORD is with thee ,
thou mighty man of valour .
*
And Gideon said unto him ,
Oh my Lord ,
if the LORD be with us ,
why then is all this befallen us ?
and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of ,
saying ,
Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt ?
but now the LORD hath forsaken us ,
and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites .
*
And the LORD looked upon him ,
and said ,
Go in this thy might ,
and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites :
have not I sent thee ?
*
And he said unto him ,
Oh my Lord ,
wherewith shall I save Israel ?
behold ,
my family is poor in Manasseh ,
and I am the least in my father '
s house .
*
And the LORD said unto him ,
Surely I will be with thee ,
and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man .
