[1]And the menH376 of EphraimH669 saidH559[H8799] unto him, Why hast thouH4100 servedH6213[H8804] us thusH1697, that thou calledstH7121[H8800] us not, when thou wentestH1980[H8804] to fightH3898[H8736] with the MidianitesH4080? And they did chideH7378[H8799] with him sharplyH2394. [No book]
[2]And he saidH559[H8799] unto them, What have I doneH6213[H8804] now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaningH5955 of the grapes of EphraimH669 betterH2896 than the vintageH1210 of AbiezerH44? [No book]
[3]GodH430 hath deliveredH5414[H8804] into your handsH3027 the princesH8269 of MidianH4080, OrebH6159 and ZeebH2062: and what was I ableH3201[H8804] to doH6213[H8800] in comparison of you? Then their angerH7307 was abatedH7503[H8804] toward him, when he had saidH1697 thatH1696.[H8763] [No book]
[4]And GideonH1439 cameH935[H8799] to JordanH3383, and passed overH5674[H8802], he, and the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376 that were with him, faintH5889, yet pursuingH7291 themH8802. [No book]
[5]And he saidH559[H8799] unto the menH582 of SuccothH5523, GiveH5414[H8798], I pray you, loavesH3603 of breadH3899 unto the peopleH5971 that followH7272 me; for they be faintH5889, and I am pursuingH7291[H8802] afterH310 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, kingsH4428 of MidianH4080. [No book]
[6]And the princesH8269 of SuccothH5523 saidH559[H8799], Are the handsH3709 of ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 now in thine handH3027, that we should giveH5414[H8799] breadH3899 unto thine armyH6635? [No book]
[7]And GideonH1439 saidH559[H8799], Therefore when the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414[H8800] ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 into mine handH3027, then I will tearH1758[H8804] your fleshH1320 with the thornsH6975 of the wildernessH4057 and with briersH1303. [No book]
[8]And he went upH5927[H8799] thence to PenuelH6439, and spakeH1696[H8762] unto them likewiseH2063: and the menH582 of PenuelH6439 answeredH6030[H8799] him as the menH582 of SuccothH5523 had answeredH6030 himH8804. [No book]
[9]And he spakeH559[H8799] also unto the menH582 of PenuelH6439, sayingH559[H8800], When I come againH7725[H8800] in peaceH7965, I will break downH5422[H8799] this towerH4026. [No book]
[10]Now ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 were in KarkorH7174, and their hostsH4264 with them, about fifteenH2568[H6240] thousandH505 men, all that were leftH3498[H8737] of all the hostsH4264 of the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924: for there fellH5307[H8802] an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025[H8802] swordH2719. [No book]
[11]And GideonH1439 went upH5927[H8799] by the wayH1870 of them that dweltH7931[H8803] in tentsH168 on the eastH6924 of NobahH5025 and JogbehahH3011, and smoteH5221[H8686] the hostH4264: for the hostH4264 was secureH983. [No book]
[12]And when ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 fledH5127[H8799], he pursuedH7291[H8799] afterH310 them, and tookH3920[H8799] the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of MidianH4080, ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, and discomfitedH2729[H8689] all the hostH4264. [No book]
[13]And GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 returnedH7725[H8799] from battleH4421 beforeH4608 the sun was upH2775, [No book]
[14]And caughtH3920[H8799] a young manH5288 of the menH582 of SuccothH5523, and enquiredH7592[H8799] of him: and he describedH3789[H8799] unto him the princesH8269 of SuccothH5523, and the eldersH2205 thereof, even threescore and seventeenH7657[H7651] menH376. [No book]
[15]And he cameH935[H8799] unto the menH582 of SuccothH5523, and saidH559[H8799], Behold ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, with whom ye did upbraidH2778[H8765] me, sayingH559[H8800], Are the handsH3709 of ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 now in thine handH3027, that we should giveH5414[H8799] breadH3899 unto thy menH582 that are wearyH3287? [No book]
[16]And he tookH3947[H8799] the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892, and thornsH6975 of the wildernessH4057 and briersH1303, and with them he taughtH3045[H8686] the menH582 of SuccothH5523. [No book]
[17]And he beat downH5422[H8804] the towerH4026 of PenuelH6439, and slewH2026[H8799] the menH582 of the cityH5892. [No book]
[18]Then saidH559[H8799] he unto ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, WhatH375 manner of menH582 were they whom ye slewH2026[H8804] at TaborH8396? And they answeredH559[H8799], As thouH3644 art, so were they; each oneH259 resembledH8389 the childrenH1121 of a kingH4428. [No book]
[19]And he saidH559[H8799], They were my brethrenH251, even the sonsH1121 of my motherH517: as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, ifH3863 ye had saved them aliveH2421[H8689], I would not slayH2026 youH8804. [No book]
[20]And he saidH559[H8799] unto JetherH3500 his firstbornH1060, UpH6965[H8798], and slayH2026[H8798] them. But the youthH5288 drewH8025[H8804] not his swordH2719: for he fearedH3372[H8804], because he was yet a youthH5288. [No book]
[21]Then ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 saidH559[H8799], RiseH6965[H8798] thou, and fallH6293[H8798] upon us: for as the manH376 is, so is his strengthH1369. And GideonH1439 aroseH6965[H8799], and slewH2026[H8799] ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, and took awayH3947[H8799] the ornamentsH7720 that were on their camels'H1581 necksH6677. [No book]
[22]Then the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559[H8799] unto GideonH1439, RuleH4910[H8798] thou over us, both thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy son'sH1121 sonH1121 also: for thou hast deliveredH3467[H8689] us from the handH3027 of MidianH4080. [No book]
[23]And GideonH1439 saidH559[H8799] unto them, I will not ruleH4910[H8799] over you, neither shall my sonH1121 ruleH4910[H8799] over you: the LORDH3068 shall ruleH4910 over youH8799. [No book]
[24]And GideonH1439 saidH559[H8799] unto them, I would desireH7592[H8799] a requestH7596 of you, that ye would giveH5414[H8798] me every manH376 the earringsH5141 of his preyH7998. (For they had goldenH2091 earringsH5141, because they were IshmaelitesH3459.) [No book]
[25]And they answeredH559[H8799], We will willinglyH5414[H8800] giveH5414[H8799] them. And they spreadH6566[H8799] a garmentH8071, and did castH7993[H8686] therein every manH376 the earringsH5141 of his preyH7998. [No book]
[26]And the weightH4948 of the goldenH2091 earringsH5141 that he requestedH7592[H8804] was a thousandH505 and sevenH7651 hundredH3967 shekels of goldH2091; beside ornamentsH7720, and collarsH5188, and purpleH713 raimentH899 that was on the kingsH4428 of MidianH4080, and beside the chainsH6060 that were about their camels'H1581 necksH6677. [No book]
[27]And GideonH1439 madeH6213[H8799] an ephodH646 thereof, and putH3322[H8686] it in his cityH5892, even in OphrahH6084: and all IsraelH3478 went thither a whoringH2181[H8799] afterH310 it: which thing became a snareH4170 unto GideonH1439, and to his houseH1004. [No book]
[28]Thus was MidianH4080 subduedH3665[H8735] beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, so that they lifted upH5375[H8800] their headsH7218 no moreH3254[H8804]. And the countryH776 was in quietnessH8252[H8799] fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the daysH3117 of GideonH1439. [No book]
[29]And JerubbaalH3378 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 wentH3212[H8799] and dweltH3427[H8799] in his own houseH1004. [No book]
[30]And GideonH1439 had threescore and tenH7657 sonsH1121 of his bodyH3409 begottenH3318[H8802]: for he had manyH7227 wivesH802. [No book]
[31]And his concubineH6370 that was in ShechemH7927, she also bareH3205[H8804] him a sonH1121, whose nameH8034 he calledH7760[H8799] AbimelechH40. [No book]
[32]And GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 diedH4191[H8799] in a goodH2896 old ageH7872, and was buriedH6912[H8735] in the sepulchreH6913 of JoashH3101 his fatherH1, in OphrahH6084 of the AbiezritesH33. [No book]
[33]And it came to pass, as soon as GideonH1439 was deadH4191[H8804], that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 turned againH7725[H8799], and went a whoringH2181[H8799] afterH310 BaalimH1168, and madeH7760[H8799] BaalberithH1170 their godH430. [No book]
[34]And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 rememberedH2142[H8804] not the LORDH3068 their GodH430, who had deliveredH5337[H8688] them out of the handsH3027 of all their enemiesH341[H8802] on every sideH5439: [No book]
[35]Neither shewedH6213[H8804] they kindnessH2617 to the houseH1004 of JerubbaalH3378, namely, GideonH1439, according to all the goodnessH2896 which he had shewedH6213[H8804] unto IsraelH3478. [No book]
