wbs@Judges:2:4 @ And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
wbs@Judges:2:5 @ And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there to the LORD.
wbs@Judges:2:6 @ And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land.

wbs@Judges:2:11 @ And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:
wbs@Judges:2:12 @ And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were around them, and bowed themselves to them, and provoked the LORD to anger.
wbs@Judges:2:13 @ And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
wbs@Judges:2:14 @ And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies around, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
wbs@Judges:2:15 @ Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn to them: and they were greatly distressed.
wbs@Judges:2:16 @ Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, who delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
wbs@Judges:2:17 @ And yet they would not hearken to their judges, but they went astray after other gods, and bowed themselves to them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.
wbs@Judges:2:18 @ And when the LORD raised up judges for them, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: (for the LORD repented because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and burdened them.)
wbs@Judges:2:19 @ And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
wbs@Judges:2:20 @ And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened to my voice;
wbs@Judges:2:21 @ I also will not henceforth drive out from before them any of the nations which Joshua left when he died:
wbs@Judges:2:22 @ That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or not.
wbs@Judges:2:23 @ Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out speedily, neither did he deliver them into the hand of Joshua.
wbs@Judges:3:1 @ Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, (even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
wbs@Judges:3:2 @ Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing of it;)
wbs@Judges:3:3 @ Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt on mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon to the entrance of Hamath.
wbs@Judges:3:4 @ And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken to the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
wbs@Judges:3:5 @ And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
wbs@Judges:3:6 @ And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
wbs@Judges:3:7 @ And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God, and served Baalim, and the groves.
wbs@Judges:3:8 @ Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.
wbs@Judges:3:9 @ And when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
wbs@Judges:3:10 @ And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.
wbs@Judges:3:11 @ And the land had rest forty years: and Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
wbs@Judges:3:12 @ And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.
wbs@Judges:3:13 @ And he gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm-trees.
wbs@Judges:3:14 @ So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
wbs@Judges:3:15 @ But when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjaminite, a man left-handed: and by him the children of Israel sent a present to Eglon king of Moab.
wbs@Judges:3:16 @ But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
wbs@Judges:3:17 @ And he brought the present to Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.
wbs@Judges:3:18 @ And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bore the present.
wbs@Judges:3:19 @ But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand to thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
wbs@Judges:3:20 @ And Ehud came to him; and he was sitting in a summer-parlor, which he had for himself alone: and Ehud said, I have a message from God to thee. And he arose from his seat.
wbs@Judges:3:21 @ And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
wbs@Judges:3:22 @ And the haft also entered after the blade: and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
wbs@Judges:3:23 @ Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlor upon him, and locked them.
wbs@Judges:3:24 @ When he had gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlor were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer-chamber.
wbs@Judges:3:25 @ And they tarried till they were ashamed: and behold, he opened not the doors of the parlor, therefore they took a key and opened them: and behold, their lord lay dead on the earth.
wbs@Judges:3:26 @ And Ehud escaped while they tarried; and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirath.
wbs@Judges:3:27 @ And it came to pass when he had come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.
wbs@Judges:3:28 @ And he said to them, Follow me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan towards Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
wbs@Judges:3:29 @ And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valor: and there escaped not a man.
wbs@Judges:3:30 @ So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel: and the land had rest eighty years.
wbs@Judges:3:31 @ And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox-goad; and he also delivered Israel.
wbs@Judges:4:1 @ And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, after Ehud was dead.
wbs@Judges:4:2 @ And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan that reigned in Hazor, the captain of whose host was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
wbs@Judges:4:3 @ And the children of Israel cried to the LORD; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
wbs@Judges:4:4 @ And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
wbs@Judges:4:5 @ And she dwelt under the palm-tree of Deborah, between Ramah and Beth-el in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
wbs@Judges:4:6 @ And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh-naphtali, and said to him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go, and draw towards mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali, and of the children of Zebulun?
wbs@Judges:4:7 @ And I will draw to thee, to the river Kishon, Sisera the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thy hand.
wbs@Judges:4:8 @ And Barak said to her, if thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.
wbs@Judges:4:9 @ And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thy honor; for the LORD will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
wbs@Judges:4:10 @ And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
wbs@Judges:4:11 @ Now Heber the Kenite, who was of the children of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent to the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.
wbs@Judges:4:12 @ And they showed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to mount Tabor.
wbs@Judges:4:13 @ And Sisera collected all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles to the river of Kishon.
wbs@Judges:4:14 @ And Deborah said to Barak, Arise, for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thy hand: hath not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
wbs@Judges:4:15 @ And the LORD discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera alighted from his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
wbs@Judges:4:16 @ But Barak pursued the chariots, and the host, to Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left.
wbs@Judges:4:17 @ Howbeit, Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
wbs@Judges:4:18 @ And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in to her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
wbs@Judges:4:19 @ And he said to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
wbs@Judges:4:20 @ Again he said to her, stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
wbs@Judges:4:21 @ Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a nail of the tent, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep, and weary. So he died.
wbs@Judges:4:22 @ And behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.
wbs@Judges:4:23 @ So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
wbs@Judges:4:24 @ And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
wbs@Judges:5:1 @ Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
wbs@Judges:5:2 @ Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
wbs@Judges:5:3 @ Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing to the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.
wbs@Judges:5:4 @ LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.
wbs@Judges:5:5 @ The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.
wbs@Judges:5:6 @ In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travelers walked through by-ways.
wbs@Judges:5:7 @ The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
wbs@Judges:5:8 @ They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
wbs@Judges:5:9 @ My heart is towards the governors of Israel that offered themselves willingly among the people: Bless ye the LORD.
wbs@Judges:5:10 @ Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
wbs@Judges:5:11 @ They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts towards the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates.
wbs@Judges:5:12 @ Awake, awake, Deborah; awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
wbs@Judges:5:13 @ Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
wbs@Judges:5:14 @ Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
wbs@Judges:5:15 @ And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah: even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.
wbs@Judges:5:16 @ Why abodest thou among the sheep-folds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
wbs@Judges:5:17 @ Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea-shore, and abode in his breaches.
wbs@Judges:5:18 @ Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives to death in the high places of the field.
wbs@Judges:5:19 @ The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Tanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.

wbs@Judges:5:31 @ So let all thy enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
wbs@Judges:6:1 @ And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.
wbs@Judges:6:2 @ And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds.
wbs@Judges:6:3 @ And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them;

wbs@Judges:6:13 @ And Gideon said to him, O my Lord, if the LORD is with us, why then hath all this befallen us? and where are 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.
wbs@Judges:6:14 @ 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?
wbs@Judges:6:15 @ And he said to him, O my Lord, by what means shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.
wbs@Judges:6:16 @ And the LORD said to him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.
wbs@Judges:6:17 @ And he said to him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then show me a sign that thou talkest with me.
wbs@Judges:6:18 @ Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come to thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou comest again.
wbs@Judges:6:19 @ And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out to him under the oak, and presented it.
wbs@Judges:6:20 @ And the angel of God said to him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.
wbs@Judges:6:21 @ Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD departed from his sight.
wbs@Judges:6:22 @ And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord GOD! for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face.
wbs@Judges:6:23 @ And the LORD said to him, Peace be to thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.
wbs@Judges:6:24 @ Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD, and called it Jehovah-shalom: to this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.
wbs@Judges:6:25 @ And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said to him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it:
wbs@Judges:6:26 @ And build an altar to the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt-sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.
wbs@Judges:6:27 @ Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said to him: and so it was, because he feared his father's household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.
wbs@Judges:6:28 @ And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built.
wbs@Judges:6:29 @ And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing.
wbs@Judges:6:30 @ Then the men of the city said to Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it.
wbs@Judges:6:31 @ And Joash said to all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he is a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar.
wbs@Judges:6:32 @ Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.
wbs@Judges:6:33 @ Then all the Midianites, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east were assembled, and went over, and encamped in the valley of Jezreel.
wbs@Judges:6:34 @ But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was called after him.
wbs@Judges:6:35 @ And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was called after him: and he sent messengers to Asher, and to Zebulun, and to Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.
wbs@Judges:6:36 @ And Gideon said to God, If thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said,
wbs@Judges:6:37 @ Behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the floor; and if the dew shall be on the fleece only, and it shall be dry upon all the earth besides, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said.
wbs@Judges:6:38 @ And it was so: for he rose early on the morrow, and pressed the fleece, and wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowl-full of water.
wbs@Judges:6:39 @ And Gideon said to God, Let not thy anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: Let me make trial, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.
wbs@Judges:6:40 @ And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
wbs@Judges:7:1 @ Then Jerubbaal (who is Gideon) and all the people that were with him, rose early, and encamped beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
wbs@Judges:7:2 @ And the LORD said to Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, My own hand hath saved me.
wbs@Judges:7:3 @ Now therefore, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
wbs@Judges:7:4 @ And the LORD said to Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down to the water, and I will try them for thee there; and it shall be, that of whom I say to thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say to thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.
wbs@Judges:7:5 @ So he brought down the people to the water: and the LORD said to Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.
wbs@Judges:7:6 @ And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
wbs@Judges:7:7 @ And the LORD said to Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand: and let all the other people go every man to his place.
wbs@Judges:7:8 @ So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent of all the rest of Israel every man to his tent, and retained those three hundred men. And the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
wbs@Judges:7:9 @ And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said to him, Arise, go down to the host; for I have delivered it into thy hand.
wbs@Judges:7:10 @ But if thou fearest to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host:
wbs@Judges:7:11 @ And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thy hands be strengthened to go down to the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant to the outside of the armed men that were in the host.
wbs@Judges:7:12 @ And the Midianites, and the Amalekites, and all the children of the east, lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude.
wbs@Judges:7:13 @ And when Gideon had come, behold, there was a man that told a dream to his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and lo, a cake of barley-bread rolled into the host of Midian, and came to a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it that the tent lay along.
wbs@Judges:7:14 @ And his fellow answered, and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host.
wbs@Judges:7:15 @ And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and its interpretation, that he worshiped, and returned to the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.
wbs@Judges:7:16 @ And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.
wbs@Judges:7:17 @ And he said to them, Look on me, and do likewise: and behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that as I do, so shall ye do.
wbs@Judges:7:18 @ When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.
wbs@Judges:7:19 @ So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came to the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers that were in their hands.
wbs@Judges:7:20 @ And the three companies blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow with: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.
wbs@Judges:7:21 @ And they stood every man in his place around the camp; and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.
wbs@Judges:7:22 @ And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Beth-shittah in Zereroth, and to the border of Abel-meholah, to Tabbath.
wbs@Judges:7:23 @ And the men of Israel assembled out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued the Midianites.
wbs@Judges:7:24 @ And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters to Beth-barah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim assembled, and took the waters to Beth-barah and Jordan.
wbs@Judges:7:25 @ And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the wine-press of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side of Jordan.
wbs@Judges:8:1 @ And the men of Ephraim said to him, Why hast thou treated us thus, that thou calledst us not when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? and they chid with him sharply.
wbs@Judges:8:2 @ And he said to them, What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
wbs@Judges:8:3 @ God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then, when he had said that, their anger towards him abated.
wbs@Judges:8:4 @ And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.
wbs@Judges:8:5 @ And he said to the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread to the people that follow me: for they are faint, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.
wbs@Judges:8:6 @ And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we should give bread to thy army?
wbs@Judges:8:7 @ And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.
wbs@Judges:8:8 @ And he went up thence to Penuel, and spoke to them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.
wbs@Judges:8:9 @ And he spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.
wbs@Judges:8:10 @ Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the hosts of the children of the east: for there fell a hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.
wbs@Judges:8:11 @ And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host: for the host was secure.
wbs@Judges:8:12 @ And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host.
wbs@Judges:8:13 @ And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun had risen,
wbs@Judges:8:14 @ And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he described to him the princes of Succoth, and its elders, even seventy seven men.
wbs@Judges:8:15 @ And he came to the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye upbraided me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we should give bread to thy men that are weary?
wbs@Judges:8:16 @ And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness, and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.
wbs@Judges:8:17 @ And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.
wbs@Judges:8:18 @ Then said he to Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king.
wbs@Judges:8:19 @ And he said, They were my brethren, even the sons of my mother: as the LORD liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you.
wbs@Judges:8:20 @ And he said to Jether his first-born, Arise, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth.
wbs@Judges:8:21 @ Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that were on their camels' necks.
wbs@Judges:8:22 @ Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian.
wbs@Judges:8:23 @ And Gideon said to them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.
wbs@Judges:8:24 @ And Gideon said to them, I would desire a request of you, that you would give me every man the ear-rings of his prey. (For they had golden ear-rings, because they were Ishmaelites.)
wbs@Judges:8:25 @ And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and cast into it every man the ear-rings of his prey.
wbs@Judges:8:26 @ And the weight of the golden ear-rings that he requested, was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; besides ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were about their camels' necks.
wbs@Judges:8:27 @ And Gideon made of it an ephod, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither astray after it: which thing became a snare to Gideon, and to his house.
wbs@Judges:8:28 @ Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they raised their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon.
wbs@Judges:8:29 @ And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
