19So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the edge of the camp at the beginning of the middle night-watch, when they had just finished setting up the guards, and they blew on the trumpets and smashed the jars that were in their hands.n 20When three companieso blew on the trumpets and broke the jars, they held in their left hand the torches and in their right hand the trumpets for blowing, and they cried, “A sword for Yahweh and for Gideon!” 21And each stood in his placep all around the camp, and all the camp ran, and they cried out as they fled. 22When they blew the three hundred trumpets, Yahweh set the sword of each one against his neighbor throughout the whole camp, and the campq fled as far as Beth Shittah toward Zererah, up to Abel Meholah, the border by Tabbath. 23And the men of Israel were called from Naphtali, from Asher, and from all of Manasseh, and they pursued after Midian.

24And Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down to opposer Midian, and capture from them the waters up to Beth Barah and the Jordan.” He called out all the men of Ephraim, and they captured the waters up to Beth Barah and the Jordan. 25And they captured the two commanders of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb, and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and they killed Zeeb at the wine press of Zeeb, while they chased Midian; and they brought the headss of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon from beyond the Jordan.
