Judges Chapter 8 - King James Strong Number Version
- 1
- And the men <H0376> of Ephraim <H0669> said <H0559> unto him, Why <H4100> hast thou served <H6213> us thus, <H1697> that thou calledst <H7121> us not, when thou wentest <H1980> to fight <H3898> with the Midianites? <H4080> And they did chide <H7378> with him sharply. <H2393>
- 2
- And he said <H0559> unto them, What have I done <H6213> now in comparison of you? [Is] not the gleaning <H5955> of the grapes of Ephraim <H0669> better <H2896> than the vintage <H1210> of Abiezer? <H0044>
- 3
- God <H0430> hath delivered <H5414> into your hands <H3027> the princes <H8269> of Midian, <H4080> Oreb <H6159> and Zeeb: <H2062> and what was I able <H3201> to do <H6213> in comparison of you? Then their anger <H7307> was abated <H7503> toward him, when he had said <H1696> that. <H1697>
- 4
- And Gideon <H1439> came <H0935> to Jordan, <H3383> [and] passed over, <H5674> he, and the three <H7969> hundred <H3967> men <H0376> that [were] with him, faint, <H5889> yet pursuing <H7291> [them].
- 5
- And he said <H0559> unto the men <H0582> of Succoth, <H5523> Give, <H5414> I pray you, loaves <H3603> of bread <H3899> unto the people <H5971> that follow <H7272> me; for they [be] faint, <H5889> and I am pursuing <H7291> after <H0310> Zebah <H2078> and Zalmunna, <H6759> kings <H4428> of Midian. <H4080>
- 6
- And the princes <H8269> of Succoth <H5523> said, <H0559> [Are] the hands <H3709> of Zebah <H2078> and Zalmunna <H6759> now in thine hand, <H3027> that we should give <H5414> bread <H3899> unto thine army? <H6635>
- 7
- And Gideon <H1439> said, <H0559> Therefore when the LORD <H3068> hath delivered <H5414> Zebah <H2078> and Zalmunna <H6759> into mine hand, <H3027> then I will tear <H1758> your flesh <H1320> with the thorns <H6975> of the wilderness <H4057> and with briers. <H1303>
- 8
- And he went up <H5927> thence to Penuel, <H6439> and spake <H1696> unto them likewise: <H2063> and the men <H0582> of Penuel <H6439> answered <H6030> him as the men <H0582> of Succoth <H5523> had answered <H6030> [him].
- 9
- And he spake <H0559> also unto the men <H0582> of Penuel, <H6439> saying, <H0559> When I come again <H7725> in peace, <H7965> I will break down <H5422> this tower. <H4026>
- 10
- Now Zebah <H2078> and Zalmunna <H6759> [were] in Karkor, <H7174> and their hosts <H4264> with them, about fifteen <H2568> <H6240> thousand <H0505> [men], all that were left <H3498> of all the hosts <H4264> of the children <H1121> of the east: <H6924> for there fell <H5307> an hundred <H3967> and twenty <H6242> thousand <H0505> men <H0376> that drew <H8025> sword. <H2719>
- 11
- And Gideon <H1439> went up <H5927> by the way <H1870> of them that dwelt <H7931> in tents <H0168> on the east <H6924> of Nobah <H5025> and Jogbehah, <H3011> and smote <H5221> the host: <H4264> for the host <H4264> was secure. <H0983>
- 12
- And when Zebah <H2078> and Zalmunna <H6759> fled, <H5127> he pursued <H7291> after <H0310> them, and took <H3920> the two <H8147> kings <H4428> of Midian, <H4080> Zebah <H2078> and Zalmunna, <H6759> and discomfited <H2729> all the host. <H4264>
- 13
- And Gideon <H1439> the son <H1121> of Joash <H3101> returned <H7725> from battle <H4421> before <H4608> the sun <H2775> [was up],
- 14
- And caught <H3920> a young man <H5288> of the men <H0582> of Succoth, <H5523> and enquired <H7592> of him: and he described <H3789> unto him the princes <H8269> of Succoth, <H5523> and the elders <H2205> thereof, [even] threescore and seventeen <H7657> <H7651> men. <H0376>
- 15
- And he came <H0935> unto the men <H0582> of Succoth, <H5523> and said, <H0559> Behold Zebah <H2078> and Zalmunna, <H6759> with whom ye did upbraid <H2778> me, saying, <H0559> [Are] the hands <H3709> of Zebah <H2078> and Zalmunna <H6759> now in thine hand, <H3027> that we should give <H5414> bread <H3899> unto thy men <H0582> [that are] weary? <H3287>
- 16
- And he took <H3947> the elders <H2205> of the city, <H5892> and thorns <H6975> of the wilderness <H4057> and briers, <H1303> and with them he taught <H3045> the men <H0582> of Succoth. <H5523>
- 17
- And he beat down <H5422> the tower <H4026> of Penuel, <H6439> and slew <H2026> the men <H0582> of the city. <H5892>
- 18
- Then said <H0559> he unto Zebah <H2078> and Zalmunna, <H6759> What manner <H0375> of men <H0582> [were they] whom ye slew <H2026> at Tabor? <H8396> And they answered, <H0559> As thou <H3644> [art], so [were] they; <H3644> each one <H0259> resembled <H8389> the children <H1121> of a king. <H4428>
- 19
- And he said, <H0559> They [were] my brethren, <H0251> [even] the sons <H1121> of my mother: <H0517> [as] the LORD <H3068> liveth, <H2416> if <H3863> ye had saved them alive, <H2421> I would not slay <H2026> you.
- 20
- And he said <H0559> unto Jether <H3500> his firstborn, <H1060> Up, <H6965> [and] slay <H2026> them. But the youth <H5288> drew <H8025> not his sword: <H2719> for he feared, <H3372> because he [was] yet a youth. <H5288>
- 21
- Then Zebah <H2078> and Zalmunna <H6759> said, <H0559> Rise <H6965> thou, and fall <H6293> upon us: for as the man <H0376> [is, so is] his strength. <H1369> And Gideon <H1439> arose, <H6965> and slew <H2026> Zebah <H2078> and Zalmunna, <H6759> and took away <H3947> the ornaments <H7720> that [were] on their camels' <H1581> necks. <H6677>
- 22
- Then the men <H0376> of Israel <H3478> said <H0559> unto Gideon, <H1439> Rule <H4910> thou over us, both thou, and thy son, <H1121> and thy son's <H1121> son <H1121> also: for thou hast delivered <H3467> us from the hand <H3027> of Midian. <H4080>
- 23
- And Gideon <H1439> said <H0559> unto them, I will not rule <H4910> over you, neither shall my son <H1121> rule <H4910> over you: the LORD <H3068> shall rule <H4910> over you.
- 24
- And Gideon <H1439> said <H0559> unto them, I would desire <H7592> a request <H7596> of you, that ye would give <H5414> me every man <H0376> the earrings <H5141> of his prey. <H7998> (For they had golden <H2091> earrings, <H5141> because they [were] Ishmaelites.) <H3459>
- 25
- And they answered, <H0559> We will willingly <H5414> give <H5414> [them]. And they spread <H6566> a garment, <H8071> and did cast <H7993> therein every man <H0376> the earrings <H5141> of his prey. <H7998>
- 26
- And the weight <H4948> of the golden <H2091> earrings <H5141> that he requested <H7592> was a thousand <H0505> and seven <H7651> hundred <H3967> [shekels] of gold; <H2091> beside ornaments, <H7720> and collars, <H5188> and purple <H0713> raiment <H0899> that [was] on the kings <H4428> of Midian, <H4080> and beside the chains <H6060> that [were] about their camels' <H1581> necks. <H6677>
- 27
- And Gideon <H1439> made <H6213> an ephod <H0646> thereof, and put <H3322> it in his city, <H5892> [even] in Ophrah: <H6084> and all Israel <H3478> went thither a whoring <H2181> after <H0310> it: which thing became a snare <H4170> unto Gideon, <H1439> and to his house. <H1004>
- 28
- Thus was Midian <H4080> subdued <H3665> before <H6440> the children <H1121> of Israel, <H3478> so that they lifted up <H5375> their heads <H7218> no more. <H3254> And the country <H0776> was in quietness <H8252> forty <H0705> years <H8141> in the days <H3117> of Gideon. <H1439>
- 29
- And Jerubbaal <H3378> the son <H1121> of Joash <H3101> went <H3212> and dwelt <H3427> in his own house. <H1004>
- 30
- And Gideon <H1439> had threescore and ten <H7657> sons <H1121> of his body <H3409> begotten: <H3318> for he had many <H7227> wives. <H0802>
- 31
- And his concubine <H6370> that [was] in Shechem, <H7927> she also bare <H3205> him a son, <H1121> whose name <H8034> he called <H7760> Abimelech. <H0040>
- 32
- And Gideon <H1439> the son <H1121> of Joash <H3101> died <H4191> in a good <H2896> old age, <H7872> and was buried <H6912> in the sepulchre <H6913> of Joash <H3101> his father, <H0001> in Ophrah <H6084> of the Abiezrites. <H0033>
- 33
- And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon <H1439> was dead, <H4191> that the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> turned again, <H7725> and went a whoring <H2181> after <H0310> Baalim, <H1168> and made <H7760> Baalberith <H1170> their god. <H0430>
- 34
- And the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> remembered <H2142> not the LORD <H3068> their God, <H0430> who had delivered <H5337> them out of the hands <H3027> of all their enemies <H0341> on every side: <H5439>
- 35
- Neither shewed <H6213> they kindness <H2617> to the house <H1004> of Jerubbaal, <H3378> [namely], Gideon, <H1439> according to all the goodness <H2896> which he had shewed <H6213> unto Israel. <H3478>
