00:00.600 --> 00:05.620
Chapter 7 Then Jeroboam, who was Gideon,
and all the people that were with him,

00:06.040 --> 00:09.860
rose up early and pitched beside the well
of Herod, so that the host of the

00:09.860 --> 00:13.220
Midianites were on the north side of them,
by the hill of Morah in the valley.

00:13.580 --> 00:17.520
And the Lord said unto Gideon,
The people that are with thee are too many

00:17.520 --> 00:21.880
for me to give to the Midianites into
their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves

00:21.880 --> 00:25.040
against me, saying, Mine own hand hath
saved me.

00:25.040 --> 00:31.080
Now therefore, go to, proclaim in the ears
of the people, saying, Whosoever is

00:31.080 --> 00:35.400
fearful and afraid, let him return and
depart early from Mount Gilead.

00:35.620 --> 00:39.560
And there returned the people twenty and
two thousand, and there remained ten

00:39.560 --> 00:39.940
thousand.

00:40.440 --> 00:43.520
And the Lord said unto Gideon,
The people are yet too many.

00:44.200 --> 00:47.600
Bring them down into the water,
and I will try them for thee there.

00:48.140 --> 00:53.040
And it shall be, that of whom I say unto
thee, This shall go with thee,

00:53.400 --> 00:55.100
the same shall go with thee.

00:55.420 --> 01:00.620
And of whomsoever I say unto thee,
This shall not go with thee, the same

01:00.620 --> 01:01.440
shall not go.

01:01.700 --> 01:03.620
So he brought down the people unto the
water.

01:03.920 --> 01:07.320
And the Lord said unto Gideon,
Everyone that lappeth of the water with

01:07.320 --> 01:11.320
his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt
thou set by himself.

01:12.080 --> 01:15.300
Likewise everyone that boweth down upon
his knees to drink.

01:15.720 --> 01:18.440
And the number of them that lapped,
putting their hand to their mouth,

01:18.720 --> 01:19.680
were three hundred men.

01:19.680 --> 01:23.140
But all the rest of the people bowed down
upon their knees to drink water.

01:23.620 --> 01:27.120
And the Lord said unto Gideon,
By the three hundred men that lapped will

01:27.120 --> 01:31.580
I save you, and deliver the Midianites
into thine hand, and let all the other

01:31.580 --> 01:34.040
people go, every man unto his place.

01:34.320 --> 01:38.080
So the people took vittles in their hand,
and their trumpets, and he sent all the

01:38.080 --> 01:42.040
rest of Israel, every man, unto his tent,
and retained those three hundred men,

01:42.400 --> 01:44.560
and the host of Midian was beneath him in
the valley.

01:45.360 --> 01:49.400
And it came to pass the same night that
the Lord said unto him, Arise,

01:49.720 --> 01:53.640
get thee down unto the host, for I have
delivered it into thine hand.

01:54.260 --> 01:58.780
But if thou fear to go down, go thou with
Furah thy servant down to the host,

01:59.140 --> 02:03.300
and thou shalt hear what they say,
and afterward shall thine hands be

02:03.300 --> 02:05.220
strengthened to go down unto the host.

02:05.440 --> 02:09.100
Then went he down with Furah his servant
unto the outside of the armed men that

02:09.100 --> 02:09.720
were in the host.

02:10.340 --> 02:14.500
And the Midianites, and the Amalekites,
and all the children of the east lay along

02:14.500 --> 02:16.560
in the valley like grasshoppers for
multitude.

02:17.100 --> 02:21.520
And their camels were without number,
as the sand by the seaside for multitude.

02:22.540 --> 02:27.020
And when Gideon was come, behold,
there was a man that told a dream unto his

02:27.020 --> 02:31.640
fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a
dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread

02:32.080 --> 02:35.920
tumbled into the host of Midian,
and came unto a tent, and smote it,

02:35.940 --> 02:38.760
that it fell, and overturned it,
that the tent lay along.

02:38.980 --> 02:42.560
And his fellow answered, and said,
This is nothing else save the sword of

02:42.560 --> 02:45.200
Gideon, the son of Joash, a man of Israel.

02:45.200 --> 02:48.720
For into his hand hath God delivered
Midian, and all the host.

02:49.080 --> 02:52.020
And it was so, when Gideon heard the
telling of the dream, and the

02:52.020 --> 02:55.940
interpretation thereof, that he
worshipped, and returned unto the host of

02:55.940 --> 03:01.100
Israel, and said, Arise, for the Lord hath
delivered into your hand the host of

03:01.100 --> 03:01.560
Midian.

03:01.820 --> 03:05.780
And he divided the three hundred men into
three companies, and he put a trumpet in

03:05.780 --> 03:09.260
every man's hand, with empty pitchers,
and lamps within the pitchers.

03:09.640 --> 03:12.940
And he said unto them, Look on me,
and do likewise.

03:13.500 --> 03:17.820
And behold, when I come to the outside of
the camp, it shall be that as I do,

03:18.220 --> 03:19.320
so shall ye do.

03:19.900 --> 03:25.080
When I blow with the trumpet, I and all
that are with me, then blow ye the

03:25.080 --> 03:31.320
trumpets also on every side of all the
camp, and say, The sword of the Lord,

03:31.420 --> 03:32.500
and of Gideon.

03:33.240 --> 03:37.220
So Gideon, and the hundred men that were
with him, came unto the outside of the

03:37.220 --> 03:38.840
camp in the beginning of the middle watch.

03:38.840 --> 03:41.060
And they had but newly set the watch.

03:41.600 --> 03:44.760
And they blew the trumpets, and broke the
pitchers that were in their hands.

03:45.200 --> 03:49.060
And the three companies blew the trumpets,
and broke the pitchers, and held the lamps

03:49.060 --> 03:52.120
in their left hands, and the trumpets in
their right hands, to blow withal.

03:52.280 --> 03:55.040
And they cried, The sword of the Lord,
and of Gideon.

03:55.300 --> 03:58.040
And they stood every man in his place
round about the camp.

03:58.280 --> 04:01.200
And all the host ran, and cried,
and fled.

04:01.820 --> 04:03.600
And the three hundred blew the trumpets.

04:03.780 --> 04:08.500
And the Lord set every man's sword against
his fellow, even throughout all the host.

04:09.060 --> 04:13.020
And the host fled to Bethshida in
Zerarath, and to the border of Abelmehola

04:13.020 --> 04:13.820
unto Tabath.

04:14.300 --> 04:17.980
And the men of Israel gathered themselves
together out of Naphtali, and out of

04:17.980 --> 04:21.320
Asher, and out of all Manasseh,
and pursued after the Midianites.

04:21.880 --> 04:26.100
And Gideon sent messengers throughout all
Mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against

04:26.100 --> 04:29.300
the Midianites, and take before them the
waters unto Bethbara and Jordan.

04:29.600 --> 04:33.120
Then all the men of Ephraim gathered
themselves together, and took the waters

04:33.120 --> 04:34.420
unto Bethbara and Jordan.

04:35.110 --> 04:38.180
And they took two princes of the
Midianites, Oreb and Zeob.

04:38.500 --> 04:42.640
And they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb,
and Zeob they slew at the winepress of

04:42.640 --> 04:47.620
Zeob, and pursued Midian, and brought the
heads of Oreb and Zeob to Gideon on the

04:47.620 --> 04:48.460
other side Jordan.
