Judges 7:15-22

Judges 7:15-22 FBV

When Gideon heard the dream and what it meant, he bowed in thanks to God. He went back to the Israelite camp and announced, “On your feet! For the Lord has handed over the Midianite camp to you!” He divided the three hundred men into three companies. He handed them all trumpets, and empty jars with torches inside them. “Watch me and follow my example,” he told them. “So when I get to the edge of the camp, do exactly what I do. When I and those with me blow the trumpets, then you are to blow your trumpets from all around the camp, and shout, ‘For the Lord and for Gideon!’” Gideon and the hundred men who with him arrived at the edge of the camp around midnight, after the guards were changed. They blew their trumpets and smashed the jars they were holding. All three companies blew their trumpets and smashed their jars. They held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands, and they shouted, “A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!” Each man stood in his place encircling the camp, and all the enemy soldiers ran around shouting—then they fled. When they blew the three hundred trumpets, the Lord made all the men in the camp attack one other with their swords. The enemy army fled to Beth-shittah near Zererah, all the way to the border of Abel Meholah near Tabbath.
