kjv@Judges:2:11 @ And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:
kjv@Judges:2:12 @ And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.

kjv@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 unto them: and they were greatly distressed.
kjv@Judges:2:16 @ Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
kjv@Judges:2:17 @ And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.
kjv@Judges:2:18 @ And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.
kjv@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 unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
kjv@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 unto my voice;
kjv@Judges:2:21 @ I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:
kjv@Judges:2:22 @ That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
kjv@Judges:2:23 @ Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
kjv@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;
kjv@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 thereof;
kjv@Judges:3:3 @ Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
kjv@Judges:3:4 @ And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
kjv@Judges:3:5 @ And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
kjv@Judges:3:6 @ And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
kjv@Judges:3:7 @ And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
kjv@Judges:3:8 @ Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years.
kjv@Judges:3:9 @ And when the children of Israel cried unto 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.
kjv@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 Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim.
kjv@Judges:3:11 @ And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
kjv@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.
kjv@Judges:3:13 @ And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
kjv@Judges:3:14 @ So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
kjv@Judges:3:15 @ But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.
kjv@Judges:3:16 @ But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
kjv@Judges:3:17 @ And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.
kjv@Judges:3:18 @ And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.
kjv@Judges:3:19 @ But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
kjv@Judges:3:20 @ And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.
kjv@Judges:3:21 @ And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
kjv@Judges:3:22 @ And the haft also went in 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.
kjv@Judges:3:23 @ Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
kjv@Judges:3:24 @ When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.
kjv@Judges:3:25 @ And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
kjv@Judges:3:26 @ And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.
kjv@Judges:3:27 @ And it came to pass, when he was 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.
kjv@Judges:3:28 @ And he said unto them, Follow after 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 toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
kjv@Judges:3:29 @ And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.
kjv@Judges:3:30 @ So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
kjv@Judges:3:31 @ And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.
kjv@Judges:4:1 @ And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, when Ehud was dead.
kjv@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, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
kjv@Judges:4:3 @ And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
kjv@Judges:4:4 @ And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
kjv@Judges:4:5 @ And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
kjv@Judges:4:6 @ And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
kjv@Judges:4:7 @ And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand.
kjv@Judges:4:8 @ And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.
kjv@Judges:4:9 @ And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
kjv@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.
kjv@Judges:4:11 @ Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.
kjv@Judges:4:12 @ And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.
kjv@Judges:4:13 @ And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon.
kjv@Judges:4:14 @ And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
kjv@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 lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
kjv@Judges:4:16 @ But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left.
kjv@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.
kjv@Judges:4:18 @ And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
kjv@Judges:4:19 @ And he said unto 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.
kjv@Judges:4:20 @ Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
kjv@Judges:4:21 @ Then Jael Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.
kjv@Judges:4:22 @ And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.
kjv@Judges:4:23 @ So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
kjv@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.
kjv@Judges:5:1 @ Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
kjv@Judges:5:2 @ Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
kjv@Judges:5:3 @ Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.

kjv@Judges:5:5 @ The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.

kjv@Judges:5:26 @ She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.

kjv@Judges:5:31 @ So let all thine 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.
kjv@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.
kjv@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.
kjv@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;
kjv@Judges:6:4 @ And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.
kjv@Judges:6:5 @ For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.
kjv@Judges:6:6 @ And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD.
kjv@Judges:6:7 @ And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the Midianites,
kjv@Judges:6:8 @ That the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;
kjv@Judges:6:9 @ And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave you their land;
kjv@Judges:6:10 @ And I said unto you, I am the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice.
kjv@Judges:6:11 @ 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.
kjv@Judges:6:12 @ And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.
kjv@Judges:6:13 @ 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.
kjv@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?
kjv@Judges:6:15 @ 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.
kjv@Judges:6:16 @ And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.
kjv@Judges:6:17 @ And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then shew me a sign that thou talkest with me.
kjv@Judges:6:18 @ Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again.
kjv@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 unto him under the oak, and presented it.
kjv@Judges:6:20 @ And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.
kjv@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 up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight.
kjv@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.
kjv@Judges:6:23 @ And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.
kjv@Judges:6:24 @ Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovahshalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
kjv@Judges:6:25 @ And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto 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:
kjv@Judges:6:26 @ And build an altar unto 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.
kjv@Judges:6:27 @ Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said unto 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.
kjv@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.
kjv@Judges:6:29 @ And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they enquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing.
kjv@Judges:6:30 @ Then the men of the city said unto 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.
kjv@Judges:6:31 @ And Joash said unto 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 be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar.
kjv@Judges:6:32 @ Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.
kjv@Judges:6:33 @ Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel.
kjv@Judges:6:34 @ But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him.
kjv@Judges:6:35 @ And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was gathered after him: and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.
kjv@Judges:6:36 @ And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,
kjv@Judges:6:37 @ Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.
kjv@Judges:6:38 @ And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.
kjv@Judges:6:39 @ And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, 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.
kjv@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.
kjv@Judges:7:1 @ Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched 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.
kjv@Judges:7:2 @ And the LORD said unto 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, Mine own hand hath saved me.
kjv@Judges:7:3 @ Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever 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.
kjv@Judges:7:4 @ And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.
kjv@Judges:7:5 @ So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto 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.
kjv@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.
kjv@Judges:7:7 @ And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place.
kjv@Judges:7:8 @ So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
kjv@Judges:7:9 @ And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Arise, get thee down unto the host; for I have delivered it into thine hand.
kjv@Judges:7:10 @ But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host:
kjv@Judges:7:11 @ And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thine hands be strengthened to go down unto the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that were in the host.
kjv@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.
kjv@Judges:7:13 @ And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along.
kjv@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.
kjv@Judges:7:15 @ And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.
kjv@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.
kjv@Judges:7:17 @ And he said unto 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.
kjv@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.
kjv@Judges:7:19 @ So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto 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 brake the pitchers that were in their hands.
kjv@Judges:7:20 @ And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.
kjv@Judges:7:21 @ And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.
kjv@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 Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath.
kjv@Judges:7:23 @ And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites.
kjv@Judges:7:24 @ And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan.
kjv@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 winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan.
kjv@Judges:8:1 @ And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they did chide with him sharply.
kjv@Judges:8:2 @ And he said unto 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?
kjv@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 their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.
kjv@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.
kjv@Judges:8:5 @ And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.
kjv@Judges:8:6 @ And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?
kjv@Judges:8:7 @ And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.
kjv@Judges:8:8 @ And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.![[pBiblx2]](/img/menu.png)
