Barak went down from mount
Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.

Barak, “Arise, for this is the day
that the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Has not the LORD gone before you?” So
Barak came down from Mount
Tabor with ten thousand men following him.

discomfited Sisera, and all his
chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before
Barak; so

chariot and fled on foot.

doth come and
enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here?

anyone comes and asks you, ‘Is there a man here?’ say, ‘No.’”

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.
Some came from Ephraim, with their roots in Amalek; Benjamin came with your people after you. The commanders came down from Machir, the bearers of the marshal’s staff from
Zebulun.
Zebulun was a people who risked their lives;
Naphtali, too, on the heights of the battlefield.

shine like the sun at its brightest.” And the land had rest for forty years.
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;
Whenever the Israelites would plant their crops, the Midianites,
Amalekites, and other people of the east would come up and
invade them,
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;
He sent them a prophet, who told them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I brought you up out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
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;
I delivered you out of the hands of Egypt and all your oppressors. I drove them out before you and gave you their land.
And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah,
that pertained unto
Joash the Abi-ezrite: and his son
Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.
Then the angel of the LORD came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah
that belonged to
Joash the Abiezrite, where his son
Gideon was
threshing wheat in a winepress to hide it from the Midianites.
And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then
shew me a sign
that thou talkest with me.

that it is You speaking with me.
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.
Then the angel of the LORD extended the
tip of the staff
that was in his hand and touched the meat and the
unleavened bread. And fire
flared from the rock and consumed the meat and the
unleavened bread. Then the angel of the LORD
vanished from his sight.
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.
When
Gideon realized
that it was the angel of the LORD, he said, “Oh no, Lord GOD! I have seen the angel of the LORD face to face!”
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:
On
that very night the LORD said to
Gideon, “Take your father’s young bull and a second bull seven years old,
tear down your father’s altar to
Baal, and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.
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.
So
Gideon took ten of his servants and did as the LORD had told him. But because he was too afraid of his father’s household and the men of the city, he did it by night rather than in the
daytime.
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.
When the men of the city got up in the morning, there was
Baal’s altar
torn down, with the Asherah pole cut down beside it and the second bull offered up on the newly built altar.
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.
Then the men of the city said to
Joash, “Bring out your son. He must die, because he has
torn down
Baal’s altar and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.”
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.
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.”
Therefore on
that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let
Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.
So on
that day
Gideon was called Jerubbaal,
that is to say, “Let
Baal contend with him,” because he had
torn down
Baal’s altar.
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.
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.
then behold, I will place a
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 God did so
that night: for it was dry upon the
fleece only, and there was
dew on all the ground.
And
that night God did so. Only the
fleece was dry, and
dew covered the ground.
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.
Early in the morning Jerubbaal (
that is,
Gideon) and all the men with him camped beside the spring of Harod. And the camp of
Midian was north of them in the valley near the hill of Moreh.
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.
Then the LORD said to
Gideon, “You have too many people for Me to deliver
Midian into their hands, lest Israel
glorify themselves over Me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’
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.
Then the LORD said to
Gideon, “There are still too many people. Take them down to the water, and I will
sift them for you there. If I say to you, ‘This one shall go with you,’ he shall go. But if I say, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.”
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.
So
Gideon brought the people down to the water, and the LORD said to him, “Separate those who
lap the water with their tongues like a dog from those who
kneel to drink.”
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.
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.”
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.
That night the LORD said to
Gideon, “Get up and go down against the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand.
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.
and
listen to what they are saying. Then your hands will be strengthened to attack the camp.” So he went with Purah his servant to the outposts where armed men were guarding the camp.
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.
And as
Gideon arrived, a man was telling his friend about a dream. “Behold, I had a dream,” he said, “and I saw a
loaf of barley bread come
tumbling into the Midianite camp. It struck the tent so hard
that the tent overturned and
collapsed.”
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.
When
Gideon heard the dream and its interpretation, he bowed in worship. He returned to the camp of Israel and said, “Get up, for the LORD has delivered the camp of
Midian into your hand.”
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.
“Watch me and do as I do,”
Gideon said. “When I come to the outskirts of the camp, do exactly as I do.
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.
When I and all who are with me blow our horns, then you are also to blow your horns from all around the camp and
shout, ‘For the LORD and for
Gideon!’”
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.
Gideon and the hundred men with him reached the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just after the changing of the guard. They
blew their horns and broke the jars
that were in their hands.
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.
Then the men of Ephraim said to
Gideon, “Why have you done this to us? Why did you fail to call us when you went to fight against
Midian?” And they
contended with him violently.
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.
God has delivered Oreb and Zeeb, the two princes of
Midian, into your hand. What was I able to do compared to you?” When he had said this, their anger against him
subsided.
And
Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men
that were with him,
faint, yet pursuing them.
Then
Gideon and his three hundred men came to the Jordan and crossed it, exhausted yet still in pursuit.
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.
So
Gideon said to the men of Succoth, “Please give my troops some bread, for they are exhausted, and I am still pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of
Midian.”
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?
But the leaders of Succoth asked, “Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your possession, that we should give bread to your army?”
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 an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.
Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor with their army of about fifteen thousand men—all
that were left of the armies of the people of the east. A hundred and twenty thousand
swordsmen had already fallen.
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.
And
Gideon went up by way of the
caravan route east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and he attacked their army, taking them by surprise.
And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye did
upbraid me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand,
that we should give bread unto thy men
that are
weary?
And
Gideon went to the men of Succoth and said, “Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you
taunted me, saying, ‘Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your possession,
that we should give bread to your
weary men?’”
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.
Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Get up and kill us
yourself, for as the man is, so is his strength.” So
Gideon got up and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and he took the
crescent ornaments from the necks of their camels.
And
Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you,
that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey. (For they had golden earrings, because they were
Ishmaelites.)
Then he added, “Let me make a request of you,
that each of you give me an
earring from his
plunder.” (For the enemies had gold earrings because they were
Ishmaelites.)
And the weight of the golden earrings
that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple
raiment that was on the kings of
Midian, and beside the chains
that were about their camels’ necks.
The weight of the gold earrings he had requested was 1,700 shekels, in addition to the
crescent ornaments, the pendants, the purple garments of the kings of
Midian, and the chains from the necks of their camels.
Thus was
Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so
that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of
Gideon.
In this way
Midian was subdued before the Israelites and did not raise its head again. So the land had rest for forty years in the days of
Gideon,
And it came to pass, as soon as
Gideon was dead,
that the children of Israel turned again, and went a
whoring after
Baalim, and made
Baal-berith their god.
And as soon as
Gideon was dead, the Israelites turned and
prostituted themselves with the Baals, and they set up
Baal-berith as their god.
Neither shewed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely,
Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shewed unto Israel.
They did not show kindness to the house of Jerubbaal (
that is,
Gideon) for all the good things he had done for Israel.
Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of
Shechem, Whether is better for you, either
that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are
threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or
that one reign over you? remember also
that I am your bone and your flesh.
“Please ask all the leaders of
Shechem, ‘Is it better for you
that seventy men, all the sons of Jerubbaal, rule over you, or just one man?’ Remember
that I am your own flesh and blood.”
And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount
Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and
cried, and said unto them,
Hearken unto me, ye men of
Shechem,
that God may
hearken unto you.
But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness,
wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
But the olive tree replied, ‘Should I stop giving my oil
that honors both God and man, to hold
sway over the trees?’
And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
But the
grapevine replied, ‘Should I stop giving my wine
that cheers both God and man, to hold
sway over the trees?’
Now therefore, if ye have done truly and
sincerely, in
that ye have made
Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands;
Now if you have acted faithfully and
honestly in making
Abimelech king, if you have done well by Jerubbaal and his family, and if you have done to him as he deserves—
That the cruelty done to the
threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon
Abimelech their brother, which
slew them; and upon the men of
Shechem, which aided him in the killing of his brethren.
in order
that the crime against the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come to justice and their blood be
avenged on their brother
Abimelech and on the leaders of
Shechem, who had helped him murder his brothers.
And the men of
Shechem set liers in wait for him in the top of the mountains, and they
robbed all
that came along
that way by them: and it was told
Abimelech.
And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is
Abimelech, and who is
Shechem,
that we should serve him? is not he the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of
Shechem: for why should we serve him?
Then Gaal son of Ebed said, “Who is
Abimelech, and who is
Shechem,
that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerubbaal, and is not Zebul his officer? You are to serve the men of Hamor, the father of
Shechem. Why should we serve
Abimelech?
Now therefore up by night, thou and the people that is with thee, and lie in wait in the field:
Now then,
tonight you and the people with you are to come and lie in wait in the fields.
And it shall be, that in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, thou shalt rise early, and set upon the city: and, behold, when he and the people that is with him come out against thee, then mayest thou do to them as thou shalt find occasion.
And in the morning at
sunrise, get up and advance against the city. When Gaal and his men come out against you, do to them whatever you are able.”
And
Abimelech rose up, and all the people
that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against
Shechem in four companies.
So
Abimelech and all his troops set out by night and lay in wait against
Shechem in four companies.
And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and
Abimelech rose up, and the people
that were with him, from lying in wait.
Now Gaal son of Ebed went out and stood at the entrance of the city gate just as
Abimelech and his men came out from their hiding places.
Then said Zebul unto him, Where is now thy mouth,
wherewith thou saidst, Who is
Abimelech,
that we should serve him? is not this the people
that thou hast
despised? go out, I pray now, and fight with them.
“Where is your
gloating now?” Zebul replied. “You said, ‘Who is
Abimelech that we should serve him?’ Are these not the people you
ridiculed? Go out now and fight them!”
And
Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren,
that they should not dwell in
Shechem.
Abimelech stayed in Arumah, and Zebul drove Gaal and his brothers out of
Shechem.
And it came to pass on the
morrow,
that the people went out into the field; and they told
Abimelech.
The next day the people of
Shechem went out into the fields, and this was reported to
Abimelech.
And
Abimelech, and the company
that was with him,
rushed forward, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and the two other companies ran upon all the people
that were in the fields, and
slew them.
Then
Abimelech and the companies with him
rushed forward and took their stand at the entrance of the city gate. The other two companies
rushed against all who were in the fields and struck them down.
And
Abimelech fought against the city all
that day; and he took the city, and
slew the people
that was therein, and beat down the city, and
sowed it with salt.
And all
that day
Abimelech fought against the city until he had captured it and killed its people. Then he
demolished the city and
sowed it with salt.
And when all the men of the tower of
Shechem heard
that, they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith.
On hearing of this, all the leaders in the tower of
Shechem entered the inner chamber of the temple of El-berith.
And it was told
Abimelech,
that all the men of the tower of
Shechem were gathered together.
And when
Abimelech was told
that all the leaders in the tower of
Shechem were gathered there,
And
Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people
that were with him; and
Abimelech took an
axe in his hand, and cut down a
bough from the trees, and took it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said unto the people
that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make
haste, and do as I have done.
he and all his men went up to Mount Zalmon.
Abimelech took his
axe in his hand and cut a branch from the trees, which he lifted to his shoulder, saying to his men, “
Hurry and do what you have seen me do.”
And all the people likewise cut down every man his
bough, and followed
Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and set the hold on fire upon them; so
that all the men of the tower of
Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.
So each man also cut his own branch and followed
Abimelech. Then they piled the branches against the inner chamber and set it on fire above them, killing
everyone in the tower of
Shechem, about a thousand men and women.
Then he called
hastily unto the young man his armourbearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and
slay me,
that men say not of me, A woman
slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.
He quickly called his
armor-bearer, saying, “Draw your sword and kill me, lest they say of me, ‘A woman killed him.’” So
Abimelech’s
armor-bearer ran his sword through him, and he died.
And when the men of Israel saw
that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man unto his place.
And when the Israelites saw
that Abimelech was dead, they all went home.
Thus God rendered the wickedness of
Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in
slaying his seventy brethren:
In this way God repaid the wickedness
that Abimelech had done to his father in murdering his seventy brothers.
And he had thirty sons
that rode on thirty
ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havoth-
jair unto this day, which are in the land of
Gilead.
He had thirty sons who
rode on thirty
donkeys. And they had thirty towns in the land of
Gilead, which to this day are called Havvoth-
jair.
And
that year they
vexed and
oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel
that were on the other side Jordan in the land of the
Amorites, which is in
Gilead.
who
that very year
harassed and
oppressed the Israelites, and did so for eighteen years to all the Israelites on the other side of the Jordan in
Gilead, the land of the
Amorites.
Moreover the children of
Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so
that Israel was
sore distressed.
The
Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim, and Israel was in deep distress.
And the people and princes of
Gilead said one to another, What man is he
that will begin to fight against the children of
Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of
Gilead.
And it came to pass in process of time,
that the children of
Ammon made war against Israel.
Some time later, when the
Ammonites fought against Israel
And it was so,
that when the children of
Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of
Gilead went to
fetch Jephthah out of the land of
Tob:
and made war with them, the elders of
Gilead went to get
Jephthah from the land of
Tob.
And they said unto
Jephthah, Come, and be our captain,
that we may fight with the children of
Ammon.
“Come,” they said, “be our commander, so
that we can fight against the
Ammonites.”
And the elders of
Gilead said unto
Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to thee now,
that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of
Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of
Gilead.
They answered
Jephthah, “This is why we now turn to you,
that you may go with us, fight the
Ammonites, and become leader over all of us who live in
Gilead.”
And
Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of
Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me,
that thou art come against me to fight in my land?
Then
Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the
Ammonites, saying, “What do you have against me
that you have come to fight against my land?”
And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they
smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the
Amorites, the inhabitants of
that country.
Then the LORD, the God of Israel, delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, who defeated them. So Israel took possession of all the land of the
Amorites who inhabited

Wilt not thou possess
that which
Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So
whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess.
Do you not possess whatever your god
Chemosh grants you? So also, we possess whatever the LORD our God has granted us.
While Israel dwelt in
Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities
that be along by the coasts of
Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover them within
that time?
For three hundred years Israel has lived in
Heshbon, Aroer, and their villages, as well as all the cities along the banks of the
Arnon. Why did you not take them back during
that time?
Then it shall be,
that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of
Ammon, shall surely be the LORD’S, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.
then whatever comes out the door of my house to
greet me on my
triumphant return from the
Ammonites will belong to the LORD, and I will offer it up as a burnt offering.”
