1
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
Midian
ites? And they did chide
with him sharply
.
2
And he said
unto them,
What
have I done
now
in comparison of you?
Is
not the gleaning
of the grapes of Ephraim
better
than the vintage
of
Abiezer
?
3
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
.
4
And Gideon
came
to Jordan
,
and
passed over
, he, and the three hundred
men
that
were
with him, faint,
yet pursuing
them
.
5
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
.
6
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?
7
And Gideon
said
,
Therefore when the LORD
hath delivered
Zebah
and Zalmunna
into mine hand
,
then I will tear
your flesh
with the thorns
of the wilderness
and with briers
.
8
And he went up
thence to Penuel
,
and spake
unto them likewise:
and the men
of Penuel
answered
him
as the men
of Succoth
had
answered
him
.
9
And he spake
also
un
to the men
of Penuel
,
saying
,
When I come again
in peace
,
I will break down
this
tower
.
10
Now Zebah
and Zalmunna
were
in Karkor
,
and their hosts
with them, about
fif
teen 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.
11
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
.
12
And when
Zebah
and Zalmunna
fled
,
he pursued
after them, and took
the two
kings
of Midian
,
Zebah
and Zalmunna
,
and discomfited
all the host
.
13
And Gideon
the son
of Joash
returned
from battle
before
the sun
was up
,
14
And caught
a young man
of the
men
of Succoth
, and inquired of him: and he described
unto him the princes
of Succoth
,
and the elders
thereof,
even
threescore and seventeen
men
.
15
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?
16
And he took
the elders
of the city
,
and thorns
of the wilderness
and briers
,
and with them he taught
the men
of Succoth
.
17
And he beat down
the tower
of Penuel
,
and slew
the men
of the city
.
18
Then
said
he unto Zebah
and Zalmunna
,
What
manner
of men
were they
whom
ye slew
at Tabor? And they answered,
As thou
art
, so
were
they; each one
resembled
the children
of a king
.
19
And he said
,
They
were
my brethren
,
even
the sons
of my mother
:
as
the LORD
liveth
,
if
ye had saved them alive
,
I would not slay
you.
20
And he said
unto Jether
his firstborn
,
Up
,
and
slay
them. But the youth
drew
not his sword
:
for he feared
,
because
he
was
yet a youth
.
21
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
.
22
Then the men
of Israel
said
unto Gideon
,
Rule
thou over us,
both
thou, and thy
son
,
and thy
son
's
son
also
: for thou hast delivered
us from the hand
of Midian
.
23
And Gideon
said
unto them, I will not
rule
over you, neither shall my son
rule
over you: the LORD
shall
rule
over you.
24
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.)
25
And they answered
,
We will willingly
give
them
. And they spread
a garment
,
and did cast
there
in every man
the earrings
of his prey
.
26
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
.
27
And Gideon
made
an ephod
there
of, and put
it in his city
,
even
in Ophrah
:
and all
Israel
went thither a whoring
after it: which thing
became
a snare
unto Gideon
,
and to his house
.
28
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
.
29
And Jerubbaal
the son
of Joash
went
and dwelt
in his own house
.
30
And Gideon
had
threescore and ten
sons
of his body
begotten
:
for he
had
many
wives
.
31
And his concubine
that
was
in Shechem
,
she
also
bare
him a son
,
who
se name
he called
Abimelech
.
32
And Gideon
the son
of Joash
died
in a good
old age
,
and was buried
in the sepulchre
of Joash
his father
,
in Ophrah
of the Abiezrites
.
33
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
Baalberith
their god
.
34
And the children
of Israel
remembered
not the LORD
their God
,
who had delivered
them out of the hands
of all
their enemies
on every side
:
35
Neither shewed
they kindness
to the house
of Jerubbaal
,
namely
, Gideon, according
to all
the goodness
which he had shewed
unto Israel
.
