Judges 7:19–25

Gideon Kills the Princes of Midian

¹⁹So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, when they had just set up the watch; and they blew the trumpets and smashed the pitchers that were in their hands.

²⁰Then the three ¹companies blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers, and they held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands for blowing and called out, “A sword for Yahweh and for Gideon!”

²¹And each stood in his place around the camp. Then ^aall of the camp ran, and they made a loud shout and fled.

²²So they blew 300 trumpets. And ^aYahweh set the sword of one against another even throughout the whole camp. And the camp fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the edge of ^bAbel-meholah, by Tabbath.

²³And the men of Israel were summoned from ^aNaphtali and Asher and all Manasseh, and they pursued Midian.

²⁴Now Gideon had sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down to meet Midian and ^acapture the waters before them, as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan.” So all the men of Ephraim were summoned, and they captured the waters as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan.

²⁵Then they captured the two princes of Midian, ^aOreb and Zeeb, and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and they killed Zeeb at the wine press of Zeeb. Then they pursued Midian and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon ^bfrom across the Jordan.
