Judges 7:16-24

¹⁶And he parted the three hundred men into three parts, and he gave them trumps in their hands, and empty pots, and lamps, that is, burning brands, either torches, that might not lightly be quenched, in the midst of the pots.

¹⁷And he said to them, Do ye this thing which ye see me do; I shall enter into a part of the tents, and pursue or follow ye that, that I do.

¹⁸When the trump in my hand shall sound, sound ye also all about the tents, and cry ye together, To the Lord, and to Gideon.

¹⁹And Gideon entered, and the three hundred men that were with him, into a part of the tents, when the watches of midnight began; and when the keepers were raised, they began to sound with trumps, and to beat together the pots among themselves.

²⁰And when they sounded in three places by compass, and had broken the pots, they held the lamps in their left hands, and the sounding trumps in their right hands; and they cried, The sword of the Lord, and of Gideon;

²¹and they stood all in their place, about the tents of their enemies. And so all the tents were troubled; and they cried out, and yelled, and fled;

²²and nevertheless the three hundred men continued, sounding with trumps. And the Lord sent in sword in all the tents, and they killed themselves by death each other; and they fled till to Bethshittah, in Zererath, and by the side, from Abelmeholah into Tabbath.

²³And men of Israel cried together, of Naphtali, and of Asher, and of all Manasseh, and they pursued Midian; and the Lord gave victory to the people of Israel in that day.

²⁴And Gideon sent messengers into all the hill country of Ephraim, and said, Come ye down against the coming of Midian, and occupy ye the waters till to Bethbarah and Jordan. And all Ephraim cried, and before-occupied the waters of the Jordan until Bethbarah.
