Judges 8:1-28

And the men
<0376>

of Ephraim
<0669>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Why hast thou
<04100>

served
<06213> (8804)

us thus
<01697>_,

that thou calledst
<07121> (8800)

us not, when thou wentest
<01980> (8804)

to fight
<03898> (8736)

with the Midianites
<04080>_?

And they did chide
<07378> (8799)

with him sharply
<02394>_.

{Why...: Heb. What thing is this thou hast done unto us} {sharply: Heb. strongly}

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, What have I done
<06213> (8804)

now in comparison of you? [Is] not the gleaning
<05955>

of the grapes of Ephraim
<0669>

better
<02896>

than the vintage
<01210>

of Abiezer
<044>_?

God
<0430>

hath delivered
<05414> (8804)

into your hands
<03027>

the princes
<08269>

of Midian
<04080>_,

Oreb
<06159>

and Zeeb
<02062>_:

and what was I able
<03201> (8804)

to do
<06213> (8800)

in comparison of you? Then their anger
<07307>

was abated
<07503> (8804)

toward him, when he had said
<01697>

that
<01696> (8763)_.

{anger: Heb. spirit}

And Gideon
<01439>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Jordan
<03383>_,

[and] passed over
<05674> (8802)_,

he, and the three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

that [were] with him, faint
<05889>_,

yet pursuing
<07291> (8802)

[them].

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto the men
<0582>

of Succoth
<05523>_,

Give
<05414> (8798)_,

I pray you, loaves
<03603>

of bread
<03899>

unto the people
<05971>

that follow
<07272>

me; for they [be] faint
<05889>_,

and I am pursuing
<07291> (8802)

after
<0310>

Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>_,

kings
<04428>

of Midian
<04080>_.

And the princes
<08269>

of Succoth
<05523>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Are] the hands
<03709>

of Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>

now in thine hand
<03027>_,

that we should give
<05414> (8799)

bread
<03899>

unto thine army
<06635>_?

And Gideon
<01439>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Therefore when the LORD
<03068>

hath delivered
<05414> (8800)

Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>

into mine hand
<03027>_,

then I will tear
<01758> (8804)

your flesh
<01320>

with the thorns
<06975>

of the wilderness
<04057>

and with briers
<01303>_.

{tear: Heb. thresh}

And he went up
<05927> (8799)

thence to Penuel
<06439>_,

and spake
<01696> (8762)

unto them likewise
<02063>_:

and the men
<0582>

of Penuel
<06439>

answered
<06030> (8799)

him as the men
<0582>

of Succoth
<05523>

had answered
<06030> (8804)

[him].

And he spake
<0559> (8799)

also unto the men
<0582>

of Penuel
<06439>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

When I come again
<07725> (8800)

in peace
<07965>_,

I will break down
<05422> (8799)

this tower
<04026>_.

Now Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>

[were] in Karkor
<07174>_,

and their hosts
<04264>

with them, about fifteen
<02568> <06240>

thousand
<0505>

[men], all that were left
<03498> (8737)

of all the hosts
<04264>

of the children
<01121>

of the east
<06924>_:

for there fell
<05307> (8802)

an hundred
<03967>

and twenty
<06242>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

that drew
<08025> (8802)

sword
<02719>_.

{men that...: or, every one drawing a sword}

And Gideon
<01439>

went up
<05927> (8799)

by the way
<01870>

of them that dwelt
<07931> (8803)

in tents
<0168>

on the east
<06924>

of Nobah
<05025>

and Jogbehah
<03011>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

the host
<04264>_:

for the host
<04264>

was secure
<0983>_.

And when Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>

fled
<05127> (8799)_,

he pursued
<07291> (8799)

after
<0310>

them, and took
<03920> (8799)

the two
<08147>

kings
<04428>

of Midian
<04080>_,

Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>_,

and discomfited
<02729> (8689)

all the host
<04264>_.

{discomfited: Heb. terrified}

And Gideon
<01439>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>

returned
<07725> (8799)

from battle
<04421>

before
<04608>

the sun
<02775>

[was up],

And caught
<03920> (8799)

a young man
<05288>

of the men
<0582>

of Succoth
<05523>_,

and enquired
<07592> (8799)

of him: and he described
<03789> (8799)

unto him the princes
<08269>

of Succoth
<05523>_,

and the elders
<02205>

thereof, [even] threescore and seventeen
<07657> <07651>

men
<0376>_.

{described: Heb. writ}

And he came
<0935> (8799)

unto the men
<0582>

of Succoth
<05523>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>_,

with whom ye did upbraid
<02778> (8765)

me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

[Are] the hands
<03709>

of Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>

now in thine hand
<03027>_,

that we should give
<05414> (8799)

bread
<03899>

unto thy men
<0582>

[that are] weary
<03287>_?

And he took
<03947> (8799)

the elders
<02205>

of the city
<05892>_,

and thorns
<06975>

of the wilderness
<04057>

and briers
<01303>_,

and with them he taught
<03045> (8686)

the men
<0582>

of Succoth
<05523>_.

{taught: Heb. made to know}

And he beat down
<05422> (8804)

the tower
<04026>

of Penuel
<06439>_,

and slew
<02026> (8799)

the men
<0582>

of the city
<05892>_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

he unto Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>_,

What
<0375>

manner of men
<0582>

[were they] whom ye slew
<02026> (8804)

at Tabor
<08396>_?

And they answered
<0559> (8799)_,

As thou
<03644>

[art], so [were] they; each one
<0259>

resembled
<08389>

the children
<01121>

of a king
<04428>_.

{resembled...: Heb. according to the form, etc}

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

They [were] my brethren
<0251>_,

[even] the sons
<01121>

of my mother
<0517>_:

[as] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

if
<03863>

ye had saved them alive
<02421> (8689)_,

I would not slay
<02026> (8804)

you.

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jether
<03500>

his firstborn
<01060>_,

Up
<06965> (8798)_,

[and] slay
<02026> (8798)

them. But the youth
<05288>

drew
<08025> (8804)

not his sword
<02719>_:

for he feared
<03372> (8804)_,

because he [was] yet a youth
<05288>_.

Then Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Rise
<06965> (8798)

thou, and fall
<06293> (8798)

upon us: for as the man
<0376>

[is, so is] his strength
<01369>_.

And Gideon
<01439>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and slew
<02026> (8799)

Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>_,

and took away
<03947> (8799)

the ornaments
<07720>

that [were] on their camels
<01581>_'

necks
<06677>_.

{ornaments: or, ornaments like the moon}

Then the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Gideon
<01439>_,

Rule
<04910> (8798)

thou over us, both thou, and thy son
<01121>_,

and thy son's
<01121>

son
<01121>

also: for thou hast delivered
<03467> (8689)

us from the hand
<03027>

of Midian
<04080>_.

And Gideon
<01439>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, I will not rule
<04910> (8799)

over you, neither shall my son
<01121>

rule
<04910> (8799)

over you: the LORD
<03068>

shall rule
<04910> (8799)

over you.

And Gideon
<01439>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, I would desire
<07592> (8799)

a request
<07596>

of you, that ye would give
<05414> (8798)

me every man
<0376>

the earrings
<05141>

of his prey
<07998>_.

(For they had golden
<02091>

earrings
<05141>_,

because they [were] Ishmaelites
<03459>.)

And they answered
<0559> (8799)_,

We will willingly
<05414> (8800)

give
<05414> (8799)

[them]. And they spread
<06566> (8799)

a garment
<08071>_,

and did cast
<07993> (8686)

therein every man
<0376>

the earrings
<05141>

of his prey
<07998>_.

And the weight
<04948>

of the golden
<02091>

earrings
<05141>

that he requested
<07592> (8804)

was a thousand
<0505>

and seven
<07651>

hundred
<03967>

[shekels] of gold
<02091>_;

beside ornaments
<07720>_,

and collars
<05188>_,

and purple
<0713>

raiment
<0899>

that [was] on the kings
<04428>

of Midian
<04080>_,

and beside the chains
<06060>

that [were] about their camels
<01581>_'

necks
<06677>_.

{collars: or, sweet jewels}

And Gideon
<01439>

made
<06213> (8799)

an ephod
<0646>

thereof, and put
<03322> (8686)

it in his city
<05892>_,

[even] in Ophrah
<06084>_:

and all Israel
<03478>

went thither a whoring
<02181> (8799)

after
<0310>

it: which thing became a snare
<04170>

unto Gideon
<01439>_,

and to his house
<01004>_.

Thus was Midian
<04080>

subdued
<03665> (8735)

before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

so that they lifted up
<05375> (8800)

their heads
<07218>

no more
<03254> (8804)_.

And the country
<0776>

was in quietness
<08252> (8799)

forty
<0705>

years
<08141>

in the days
<03117>

of Gideon
<01439>_.
