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.

forsaken us and delivered us into the hand of

plead for

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.
But
Joash said to
all who stood against him, “Are you
contending for
Baal? Are you trying to save him?
Whoever pleads his case will be put to death by morning! If
Baal is a god, let him
contend for himself with the one who has
torn down his altar.”

fleece of wool on the
threshing floor. If there is
dew only on the
fleece and
all the ground is dry, then I will know that You are going to save Israel by my hand, as You have said.”
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.
Then
Gideon said to God, “Do not be
angry with me; let me speak one more time. Please
allow me one more test with the
fleece. This time let it be dry, and the ground covered with
dew.”

fleece only, and there was

fleece was dry, and
dew covered the ground.

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.
And the number of those who
lapped the water with their hands to their mouths was three hundred men;
all the others
knelt to drink.
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.
Then the LORD said to
Gideon, “With the three hundred men who
lapped the water I will save you and deliver the Midianites into your hand. But
all the others are to go home.”
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.
So
Gideon sent the rest of the Israelites to their tents but kept the three hundred men, who took charge of the provisions and rams’ horns of the others. And the camp of
Midian lay below him in the valley.
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.
Now the Midianites,
Amalekites, and
all the other people of the east had settled in the valley like a
swarm of locusts, and their camels were as countless as the sand on the
seashore.
