[Judges 1]
1:1 Now after³¹⁰ the death⁴¹⁹⁴ of Joshua³⁰⁹¹ it came to pass, that the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ asked⁷⁵⁹² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Who shall go up⁵⁹²⁷ for us against the Canaanites³⁶⁶⁹ first,⁸⁴⁶² to fight
1:2 And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Judah³⁰⁶³ shall go up:⁵⁹²⁷ behold, I have delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ the land⁷⁷⁶ into his hand.
1:3 And Judah³⁰⁶³ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Simeon⁸⁰⁹⁵ his brother,²⁵¹ Come up⁵⁹²⁷ with me into my lot,¹⁴⁸⁶ that we may fight³⁸⁹⁸ against the Canaanites;³⁶⁶⁹ and I likewise will go¹⁹⁸⁰ with thee into thy lot.¹⁴⁸⁶ So Simeon⁸⁰⁹⁵ went
1:4 And Judah³⁰⁶³ went up;⁵⁹²⁷ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ the Canaanites³⁶⁶⁹ and the Perizzites⁶⁵²² into their hand:³⁰²⁷ and they slew⁵²²¹ of them in Bezek⁹⁶⁶ ten⁶²³⁵ thousand⁵⁰⁵ men.
1:5^C And they found⁴⁶⁷² Adonibezek¹³⁷ in Bezek:⁹⁶⁶ and they fought³⁸⁹⁸ against him, and they slew⁵²²¹ the Canaanites³⁶⁶⁹ and the Perizzites.
1:6 But Adonibezek¹³⁷ fled;⁵¹²⁷ and they pursued⁷²⁹¹ after³¹⁰ him, and caught²⁷⁰ him, and cut off⁷¹¹² his thumbs^9313027 and his great toes.
1:7 And Adonibezek¹³⁷ said,⁵⁵⁹ Threescore and ten⁷⁶⁵⁷ kings,⁴⁴²⁸ having their thumbs^9313027 and their great toes⁷²⁷² cut off,⁷¹¹² gathered³⁹⁵⁰ [their meat] under my table:⁷⁹⁷⁹ as I have done,⁶²¹³ so God⁴³⁰ hath requited⁷⁹⁹⁹ me. And they brought⁹³⁵ him to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and there he died.
1:8 Now the children¹¹²¹ of Judah³⁰⁶³ had fought³⁸⁹⁸ against Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and had taken³⁹²⁰ it, and smitten⁵²²¹ it with the edge⁶³¹⁰ of the sword,²⁷¹⁹ and set⁷⁹⁷¹ the city⁵⁸⁹² on fire.
1:9 And afterward³¹⁰ the children¹¹²¹ of Judah³⁰⁶³ went down³³⁸¹ to fight³⁸⁹⁸ against the Canaanites,³⁶⁶⁹ that dwelt³⁴²⁷ in the mountain,²⁰²² and in the south,⁵⁰⁴⁵ and in the valley.
1:10 And Judah³⁰⁶³ went³²¹² against the Canaanites³⁶⁶⁹ that dwelt³⁴²⁷ in Hebron:²²⁷⁵ (now the name⁸⁰³⁴ of Hebron²²⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ [was] Kirjatharba:)⁷¹⁵³ and they slew⁵²²¹ Sheshai,⁸³⁴⁴ and Ahiman,²⁸⁹ and Talmai.
1:11 And from thence he went³²¹² against the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Debir:¹⁶⁸⁸ and the name⁸⁰³⁴ of Debir¹⁶⁸⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ [was] Kirjathsepher:
1:12 And Caleb³⁶¹² said,⁵⁵⁹ He that smiteth⁵²²¹ Kirjathsepher,⁷¹⁵⁸ and taketh³⁹²⁰ it, to him will I give⁵⁴¹⁴ Achsah⁵⁹¹⁵ my daughter¹³²³ to wife.
1:13 And Othniel⁶²⁷⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Kenaz,⁷⁰⁷³ Caleb's³⁶¹² younger⁶⁹⁹⁶ brother,²⁵¹ took³⁹²⁰ it: and he gave⁵⁴¹⁴ him Achsah⁵⁹¹⁵ his daughter¹³²³ to wife.
1:14 And it came to pass, when she came⁹³⁵ [to him], that she moved⁵⁴⁹⁶ him to ask⁷⁵⁹² of her father¹ a field:⁷⁷⁰⁴ and she lighted⁶⁷⁹⁵ from off [her] ass;²⁵⁴³ and Caleb³⁶¹² said
1:15 And she said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Give³⁰⁵¹ me a blessing:¹²⁹³ for thou hast given⁵⁴¹⁴ me a south⁵⁰⁴⁵ land;⁷⁷⁶ give⁵⁴¹⁴ me also springs¹⁵⁴³ of water.⁴³²⁵ And Caleb³⁶¹² gave⁵⁴¹⁴ her the upper⁵⁹⁴² springs¹⁵⁴³ and the nether⁸⁴⁸² springs.
1:16^C And the children¹¹²¹ of the Kenite,⁷⁰¹⁷ Moses'⁴⁸⁷² father in law,²⁸⁵⁹ went up⁵⁹²⁷ out of the city⁵⁸⁹² of palm trees^85585899 with the children¹¹²¹ of Judah³⁰⁶³ into the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ which [lieth] in the south⁵⁰⁴⁵ of Arad;⁶¹⁶⁶ and they went³²¹² and dwelt³⁴²⁷ among⁸⁵⁴ the people.
1:17 And Judah³⁰⁶³ went³²¹² with Simeon⁸⁰⁹⁵ his brother,²⁵¹ and they slew⁵²²¹ the Canaanites³⁶⁶⁹ that inhabited³⁴²⁷ Zephath,⁶⁸⁵⁷ and utterly destroyed²⁷⁶³ it. And the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the city⁵⁸⁹² was called⁷¹²¹ Hormah.
1:18 Also Judah³⁰⁶³ took³⁹²⁰ Gaza⁵⁸⁰⁴ with the coast¹³⁶⁶ thereof, and Askelon⁸³¹ with the coast¹³⁶⁶ thereof, and Ekron⁶¹³⁸ with the coast
1:19 And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was with Judah;³⁰⁶³ and he drave out³⁴²³ [the inhabitants of] the mountain;²⁰²² but could not³⁸⁰⁸ drive out³⁴²³ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the valley,⁶⁰¹⁰ because they had chariots⁷³⁹³ of iron.
1:20 And they gave⁵⁴¹⁴ Hebron²²⁷⁵ unto Caleb,³⁶¹² as Moses⁴⁸⁷² said:¹⁶⁹⁶ and he expelled³⁴²³ thence the three⁷⁹⁶⁹ sons¹¹²¹ of Anak.
1:21 And the children¹¹²¹ of Benjamin¹¹⁴⁴ did not drive out³⁴²³ the Jebusites²⁹⁸³ that inhabited³⁴²⁷ Jerusalem;³³⁸⁹ but the Jebusites²⁹⁸³ dwell³⁴²⁷ with the children¹¹²¹ of Benjamin¹¹⁴⁴ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ unto this day.
1:22 And the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Joseph,³¹³⁰ they also went up⁵⁹²⁷ against Bethel:¹⁰⁰⁸ and the LORD
1:23 And the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Joseph³¹³⁰ sent to descry⁸⁴⁴⁶ Bethel.¹⁰⁰⁸ (Now the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the city⁵⁸⁹² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ [was] Luz.)
1:24 And the spies⁸¹⁰⁴ saw⁷²⁰⁰ a man³⁷⁶ come forth³³¹⁸ out of the city,⁵⁸⁹² and they said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Shew⁷²⁰⁰ us, we pray thee, the entrance³⁹⁹⁶ into the city,⁵⁸⁹² and we will shew⁶²¹³ thee mercy.
1:25 And when he shewed⁷²⁰⁰ them the entrance³⁹⁹⁶ into the city,⁵⁸⁹² they smote⁵²²¹ the city⁵⁸⁹² with the edge⁶³¹⁰ of the sword;²⁷¹⁹ but they let go⁷⁹⁷¹ the man³⁷⁶ and all his family.
1:26 And the man³⁷⁶ went³²¹² into the land⁷⁷⁶ of the Hittites,²⁸⁵⁰ and built¹¹²⁹ a city,⁵⁸⁹² and called⁷¹²¹ the name⁸⁰³⁴ thereof Luz:³⁸⁷⁰ which [is] the name⁸⁰³⁴ thereof unto this day.
1:27 Neither did Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ drive out³⁴²³ [the inhabitants of] Bethshean¹⁰⁵² and her towns,¹³²³ nor Taanach⁸⁵⁹⁰ and her towns,¹³²³ nor the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Dor¹⁷⁵⁶ and her towns,¹³²³ nor the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Ibleam²⁹⁹¹ and her towns,¹³²³ nor the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Megiddo⁴⁰²³ and her towns:¹³²³ but the Canaanites³⁶⁶⁹ would²⁹⁷⁴ dwell³⁴²⁷ in that land.
1:28 And it came to pass, when Israel³⁴⁷⁸ was strong,²³⁸⁸ that they put⁷⁷⁶⁰ the Canaanites³⁶⁶⁹ to tribute,⁴⁵²² and did not utterly³⁴²³ drive them out.
1:29 Neither did Ephraim⁶⁶⁹ drive out³⁴²³ the Canaanites³⁶⁶⁹ that dwelt³⁴²⁷ in Gezer;¹⁵⁰⁷ but the Canaanites³⁶⁶⁹ dwelt³⁴²⁷ in Gezer¹⁵⁰⁷ among
1:30 Neither did Zebulun²⁰⁷⁴ drive out³⁴²³ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Kitron,⁷⁰⁰³ nor the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Nahalol;⁵⁰⁹⁶ but the Canaanites³⁶⁶⁹ dwelt³⁴²⁷ among⁷¹³⁰ them, and became tributaries.
1:31 Neither did Asher⁸³⁶ drive out³⁴²³ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Accho,⁵⁹¹⁰ nor the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Zidon,⁶⁷²¹ nor of Ahlab,³⁰³ nor of Achzib,³⁹² nor of Helbah,²⁴⁶² nor of Aphik,⁶⁶³ nor of Rehob:
1:32 But the Asherites⁸⁴³ dwelt³⁴²⁷ among⁷¹³⁰ the Canaanites,³⁶⁶⁹ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the land:⁷⁷⁶ for they did not drive them out.
1:33 Neither did Naphtali⁵³²¹ drive out³⁴²³ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Bethshemesh,¹⁰⁵³ nor the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Bethanath;¹⁰⁴³ but he dwelt³⁴²⁷ among⁷¹³⁰ the Canaanites,³⁶⁶⁹ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the land:⁷⁷⁶ nevertheless the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Bethshemesh¹⁰⁵³ and of Bethanath¹⁰⁴³ became tributaries
1:34 And the Amorites⁵⁶⁷ forced³⁹⁰⁵ the children¹¹²¹ of Dan¹⁸³⁵ into the mountain:²⁰²² for they would not suffer⁵⁴¹⁴ them to come down³³⁸¹ to the valley:
1:35 But the Amorites⁵⁶⁷ would²⁹⁷⁴ dwell³⁴²⁷ in mount²⁰²² Heres²⁷⁷⁶ in Aijalon,³⁵⁷ and in Shaalbim:⁸¹⁶⁹ yet the hand³⁰²⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Joseph³¹³⁰ prevailed,³⁵¹³ so that they became tributaries.
1:36 And the coast¹³⁶⁶ of the Amorites⁵⁶⁷ [was] from the going up⁴⁶⁰⁸ to Akrabbim,⁴⁶¹⁰ from the rock,⁵⁵⁵³ and upward.

[Judges 2]
2:1^C And an angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came up⁵⁹²⁷ from Gilgal¹⁵³⁷ to Bochim,¹⁰⁶⁶ and said,⁵⁵⁹ I made you to go up⁵⁹²⁷ out of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and have brought⁹³⁵ you unto the land⁷⁷⁶ which I sware⁷⁶⁵⁰ unto your fathers;¹ and I said,⁵⁵⁹ I will never⁵⁷⁶⁹ break⁶⁵⁶⁵ my covenant
2:2^C And ye shall make³⁷⁷² no league¹²⁸⁵ with the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of this land;⁷⁷⁶ ye shall throw down⁵⁴²² their altars:⁴¹⁹⁶ but ye have not obeyed⁸⁰⁸⁵ my voice:⁶⁹⁶³ why have ye done
2:3 Wherefore I also said,⁵⁵⁹ I will not drive them out¹⁶⁴⁴ from before⁶⁴⁴⁰ you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides,⁶⁶⁵⁴ and their gods⁴³⁰ shall be a snare
2:4^C And it came to pass, when the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ these words¹⁶⁹⁷ unto all the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that the people⁵⁹⁷¹ lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ their voice,⁶⁹⁶³ and wept.
2:5 And they called⁷¹²¹ the name⁸⁰³⁴ of that place⁴⁷²⁵ Bochim:¹⁰⁶⁶ and they sacrificed²⁰⁷⁶ there unto the LORD.
2:6 And when Joshua³⁰⁹¹ had let the people⁵⁹⁷¹ go,⁷⁹⁷¹ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ went³²¹² every man³⁷⁶ unto his inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ to possess³⁴²³ the land.
2:7^C And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ served⁵⁶⁴⁷ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ all the days³¹¹⁷ of Joshua,³⁰⁹¹ and all the days³¹¹⁷ of the elders²²⁰⁵ that outlived^7483117310 Joshua,³⁰⁹¹ who had seen⁷²⁰⁰ all the great¹⁴¹⁹ works⁴⁶³⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that he did⁶²¹³ for Israel.
2:8^C And Joshua³⁰⁹¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nun,⁵¹²⁶ the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ died,⁴¹⁹¹ [being] an hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and ten⁶²³⁵ years⁸¹⁴¹ old.
2:9 And they buried⁶⁹¹² him in the border¹³⁶⁶ of his inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ in Timnathheres,⁸⁵⁵⁶ in the mount²⁰²² of Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ on the north side⁶⁸²⁸ of the hill²⁰²² Gaash.
2:10 And also all that generation¹⁷⁵⁵ were gathered⁶²² unto their fathers:¹ and there arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ another³¹² generation¹⁷⁵⁵ after³¹⁰ them, which knew³⁰⁴⁵ not the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ nor yet the works⁴⁶³⁹ which he had done⁶²¹³ for Israel.
2:11^C And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ did⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and served⁵⁶⁴⁷ Baalim:
2:12^C And they forsook⁵⁸⁰⁰ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers,¹ which brought them out³³¹⁸ of the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and followed^3212310 other³¹² gods,⁴³⁰ of the gods⁴³⁰ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that [were] round about⁵⁴³⁹ them, and bowed⁷⁸¹² themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ to anger.
2:13^C And they forsook⁵⁸⁰⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and served⁵⁶⁴⁷ Baal¹¹⁶⁸ and Ashtaroth.
2:14^C And the anger⁶³⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was hot²⁷³⁴ against Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and he delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ them into the hands³⁰²⁷ of spoilers⁸¹⁵⁴ that spoiled⁸¹⁵⁵ them, and he sold⁴³⁷⁶ them into the hands³⁰²⁷ of their enemies³⁴¹ round about,⁵⁴³⁹ so that they could³²⁰¹ not any longer⁵⁷⁵⁰ stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ their enemies.
2:15^C Whithersoever they went out,³³¹⁸ the hand³⁰²⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was against them for evil,⁷⁴⁵¹ as the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had said,¹⁶⁹⁶ and as the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had sworn⁷⁶⁵⁰ unto them: and they were greatly³⁹⁶⁶ distressed.
2:16^C Nevertheless the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ raised up⁶⁹⁶⁵ judges,⁸¹⁹⁹ which delivered³⁴⁶⁷ them out of the hand³⁰²⁷ of those that spoiled
2:17^C And yet they would not hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto their judges,⁸¹⁹⁹ but they went a whoring²¹⁸¹ after³¹⁰ other³¹² gods,⁴³⁰ and bowed⁷⁸¹² themselves unto them: they turned⁵⁴⁹³ quickly⁴¹¹⁸ out of the way¹⁸⁷⁰ which their fathers¹ walked in,¹⁹⁸⁰ obeying⁸⁰⁸⁵ the commandments⁴⁶⁸⁷ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ [but] they did
2:18 And when the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ raised⁶⁹⁶⁵ them up judges,⁸¹⁹⁹ then the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was with the judge,⁸¹⁹⁹ and delivered³⁴⁶⁷ them out of the hand³⁰²⁷ of their enemies³⁴¹ all the days³¹¹⁷ of the judge:⁸¹⁹⁹ for it repented⁵¹⁶² the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ because⁶⁴⁴⁰ of their groanings⁵⁰⁰⁹ by reason of them that oppressed³⁹⁰⁵ them and vexed
2:19 And it came to pass, when the judge⁸¹⁹⁹ was dead,⁴¹⁹⁴ [that] they returned,⁷⁷²⁵ and corrupted⁷⁸⁴³ [themselves] more than their fathers,¹ in following^3212310 other³¹² gods⁴³⁰ to serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ them, and to bow down⁷⁸¹² unto them; they ceased⁵³⁰⁷ not from their own doings,⁴⁶¹¹ nor from their stubborn⁷¹⁸⁶ way.
2:20 And the anger⁶³⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was hot²⁷³⁴ against Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ and he said,⁵⁵⁹ Because that this people¹⁴⁷¹ hath transgressed⁵⁶⁷⁴ my covenant¹²⁸⁵ which I commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ their fathers,¹ and have not hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto my voice;
2:21 I also will not henceforth³²⁵⁴ drive out³⁴²³ any³⁷⁶ from before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them of the nations¹⁴⁷¹ which Joshua³⁰⁹¹ left⁵⁸⁰⁰ when he died:
2:22 That through them I may prove⁵²⁵⁴ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ whether they will keep⁸¹⁰⁴ the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ to walk³²¹² therein, as their fathers¹ did keep
2:23 Therefore the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ left³²⁴⁰ those nations,¹⁴⁷¹ without¹¹¹⁵ driving them out³⁴²³ hastily;⁴¹¹⁸ neither delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ he them into the hand³⁰²⁷ of Joshua.

[Judges 3]
3:1 Now these [are] the nations¹⁴⁷¹ which the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ left,³²⁴⁰ to prove⁵²⁵⁴ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ by them, [even] as many [of Israel] as had not known³⁰⁴⁵ all the wars⁴⁴²¹ of Canaan;
3:2 Only that⁷⁵³⁵ the generations¹⁷⁵⁵ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ might know,³⁰⁴⁵ to teach³⁹²⁵ them war,⁴⁴²¹ at the least such as before⁶⁴⁴⁰ knew
3:3 [Namely], five²⁵⁶⁸ lords⁵⁶³³ of the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and all the Canaanites,³⁶⁶⁹ and the Sidonians,⁶⁷²² and the Hivites²³⁴⁰ that dwelt³⁴²⁷ in mount²⁰²² Lebanon,³⁸⁴⁴ from mount²⁰²² Baalhermon¹¹⁷⁹ unto the entering in⁹³⁵ of Hamath.
3:4 And they were to prove⁵²⁵⁴ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ by them, to know³⁰⁴⁵ whether they would hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto the commandments⁴⁶⁸⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ which he commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ their fathers¹ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Moses.
3:5 And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ dwelt³⁴²⁷ among⁷¹³⁰ the Canaanites,³⁶⁶⁹ Hittites,²⁸⁵⁰ and Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ and Perizzites,⁶⁵²² and Hivites,²³⁴⁰ and Jebusites:
3:6 And they took³⁹⁴⁷ their daughters¹³²³ to be their wives,⁸⁰² and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ their daughters¹³²³ to their sons,¹¹²¹ and served⁵⁶⁴⁷ their gods.
3:7 And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ did⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and forgat⁷⁹¹¹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ their God,⁴³⁰ and served⁵⁶⁴⁷ Baalim¹¹⁶⁸ and the groves.
3:8^C Therefore the anger⁶³⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was hot²⁷³⁴ against Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and he sold⁴³⁷⁶ them into the hand³⁰²⁷ of Chushanrishathaim³⁵⁷³ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Mesopotamia:⁷⁶³ and the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ served⁵⁶⁴⁷ Chushanrishathaim³⁵⁷³ eight⁸⁰⁸³ years.
3:9^C And when the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ cried²¹⁹⁹ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ raised up⁶⁹⁶⁵ a deliverer³⁴⁶⁷ to the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ who delivered³⁴⁶⁷ them, [even] Othniel⁶²⁷⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Kenaz,⁷⁰⁷³ Caleb's³⁶¹² younger⁶⁹⁹⁶ brother.
3:10 And the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came upon him, and he judged⁸¹⁹⁹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and went out³³¹⁸ to war:⁴⁴²¹ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ Chushanrishathaim³⁵⁷³ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Mesopotamia⁷⁶³ into his hand;³⁰²⁷ and his hand³⁰²⁷ prevailed⁵⁸¹⁰ against Chushanrishathaim.
3:11 And the land⁷⁷⁶ had rest⁸²⁵² forty⁷⁰⁵ years.⁸¹⁴¹ And Othniel⁶²⁷⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Kenaz⁷⁰⁷³ died.
3:12 And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ did⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ again³²⁵⁴ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ strengthened²³⁸⁸ Eglon⁵⁷⁰⁰ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ against Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ because they had done⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD.
3:13 And he gathered⁶²² unto him the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ and Amalek,⁶⁰⁰² and went³²¹² and smote⁵²²¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and possessed³⁴²³ the city⁵⁸⁹² of palm trees.⁸⁵⁵⁸
3:14^C So the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ served⁵⁶⁴⁷ Eglon⁵⁷⁰⁰ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ eighteen^80836240 years.
3:15 But when the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ cried²¹⁹⁹ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ raised them up⁶⁹⁶⁵ a deliverer,³⁴⁶⁷ Ehud¹⁶⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Gera,¹⁶¹⁷ a Benjamite,¹¹⁴⁵ a man³⁷⁶ lefthanded:^3343225 and by him³⁰²⁷ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ a present⁴⁵⁰³ unto Eglon⁵⁷⁰⁰ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Moab.
3:16 But Ehud¹⁶⁴ made⁶²¹³ him a dagger²⁷¹⁹ which had two⁸¹⁴⁷ edges,⁶³⁶⁶ of a cubit¹⁵⁷⁴ length;⁷⁵³ and he did gird²²⁹⁶ it under his raiment⁴⁰⁵⁵ upon his right³²²⁵ thigh.
3:17 And he brought⁷¹²⁶ the present⁴⁵⁰³ unto Eglon⁵⁷⁰⁰ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Moab:⁴¹²⁴ and Eglon⁵⁷⁰⁰ [was] a very³⁹⁶⁶ fat¹²⁷⁷ man.
3:18 And when he had made an end³⁶¹⁵ to offer⁷¹²⁶ the present,⁴⁵⁰³ he sent away⁷⁹⁷¹ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that bare⁵³⁷⁵ the present.
3:19 But he himself turned again⁷⁷²⁵ from the quarries⁶⁴⁵⁶ that [were] by Gilgal,¹⁵³⁷ and said,⁵⁵⁹ I have a secret⁵⁶⁴³ errand¹⁶⁹⁷ unto thee, O king:⁴⁴²⁸ who said,⁵⁵⁹ Keep silence.²⁰¹³ And all that stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ by him went out
3:20 And Ehud¹⁶⁴ came⁹³⁵ unto him; and he was sitting³⁴²⁷ in a summer⁴⁷⁴⁷ parlour,⁵⁹⁴⁴ which he had for himself alone. And Ehud¹⁶⁴ said,⁵⁵⁹ I have a message¹⁶⁹⁷ from God⁴³⁰ unto thee. And he arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ out of [his] seat.
3:21 And Ehud¹⁶⁴ put forth⁷⁹⁷¹ his left⁸⁰⁴⁰ hand,³⁰²⁷ and took³⁹⁴⁷ the dagger²⁷¹⁹ from his right³²²⁵ thigh,³⁴⁰⁹ and thrust⁸⁶²⁸ it into his belly:
3:22 And the haft⁵³²⁵ also went in⁹³⁵ after³¹⁰ the blade;³⁸⁵¹ and the fat²⁴⁵⁹ closed⁵⁴⁶² upon¹¹⁵⁷ the blade,³⁸⁵¹ so that he could not draw⁸⁰²⁵ the dagger²⁷¹⁹ out of his belly;⁹⁹⁰ and the dirt⁶⁵⁷⁴ came out.
3:23 Then Ehud¹⁶⁴ went forth³³¹⁸ through the porch,⁴⁵²⁸ and shut⁵⁴⁶² the doors¹⁸¹⁷ of the parlour⁵⁹⁴⁴ upon him, and locked
3:24 When he was gone out,³³¹⁸ his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ came;⁹³⁵ and when they saw⁷²⁰⁰ that, behold, the doors¹⁸¹⁷ of the parlour⁵⁹⁴⁴ [were] locked,⁵²⁷⁴ they said,⁵⁵⁹ Surely he covereth⁵⁵²⁶ his feet⁷²⁷² in his summer⁴⁷⁴⁷ chamber.
3:25 And they tarried²³⁴² till they were ashamed:⁹⁵⁴ and, behold, he opened⁶⁶⁰⁵ not the doors¹⁸¹⁷ of the parlour;⁵⁹⁴⁴ therefore they took³⁹⁴⁷ a key,⁴⁶⁶⁸ and opened⁶⁶⁰⁵ [them]: and, behold, their lord¹¹³ [was] fallen down⁵³⁰⁷ dead⁴¹⁹¹ on the earth.
3:26 And Ehud¹⁶⁴ escaped⁴⁴²² while they tarried,⁴¹⁰² and passed beyond⁵⁶⁷⁴ the quarries,⁶⁴⁵⁶ and escaped⁴⁴²² unto Seirath.
3:27 And it came to pass, when he was come,⁹³⁵ that he blew⁸⁶²⁸ a trumpet⁷⁷⁸² in the mountain²⁰²² of Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ and the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ went down³³⁸¹ with him from the mount,²⁰²² and he before
3:28 And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Follow⁷²⁹¹ after³¹⁰ me: for the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ your enemies³⁴¹ the Moabites⁴¹²⁴ into your hand.³⁰²⁷ And they went down³³⁸¹ after³¹⁰ him, and took³⁹²⁰ the fords⁴⁵⁶⁹ of Jordan³³⁸³ toward Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and suffered⁵⁴¹⁴ not a man³⁷⁶ to pass over.
3:29 And they slew⁵²²¹ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ at that time⁶²⁵⁶ about ten⁶²³⁵ thousand⁵⁰⁵ men,³⁷⁶ all lusty,⁸⁰⁸² and all men³⁷⁶ of valour;²⁴²⁸ and there escaped⁴⁴²² not a man.
3:30 So Moab⁴¹²⁴ was subdued³⁶⁶⁵ that day³¹¹⁷ under the hand³⁰²⁷ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸ And the land⁷⁷⁶ had rest⁸²⁵² fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ years.
3:31 And after³¹⁰ him was Shamgar⁸⁰⁴⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Anath,⁶⁰⁶⁷ which slew⁵²²¹ of the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ men³⁷⁶ with an ox¹²⁴¹ goad:⁴⁴⁵¹ and he also delivered³⁴⁶⁷ Israel.

[Judges 4]
4:1 And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ again³²⁵⁴ did⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ when Ehud¹⁶⁴ was dead.
4:2 And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ sold⁴³⁷⁶ them into the hand³⁰²⁷ of Jabin²⁹⁸⁵ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Canaan,³⁶⁶⁷ that reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in Hazor;²⁶⁷⁴ the captain⁸²⁶⁹ of whose host⁶⁶³⁵ [was] Sisera,⁵⁵¹⁶ which dwelt³⁴²⁷ in Harosheth²⁸⁰⁰ of the Gentiles.
4:3^C And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ cried⁶⁸¹⁷ unto the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ for he had nine⁸⁶⁷² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ chariots⁷³⁹³ of iron;¹²⁷⁰ and twenty⁶²⁴² years⁸¹⁴¹ he mightily²³⁹⁴ oppressed³⁹⁰⁵ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.
4:4^C And Deborah,¹⁶⁸³ a prophetess,⁵⁰³¹ the wife⁸⁰² of Lapidoth,³⁹⁴¹ she judged⁸¹⁹⁹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ at that time.
4:5 And she dwelt³⁴²⁷ under the palm tree⁸⁵⁶⁰ of Deborah¹⁶⁸³ between Ramah⁷⁴¹⁴ and Bethel¹⁰⁰⁸ in mount²⁰²² Ephraim:⁶⁶⁹ and the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ came up⁵⁹²⁷ to her for judgment.
4:6^C And she sent⁷⁹⁷¹ and called⁷¹²¹ Barak¹³⁰¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Abinoam⁴² out of Kedeshnaphtali,⁶⁹⁴³ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Hath not the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ commanded,⁶⁶⁸⁰ [saying], Go³²¹² and draw⁴⁹⁰⁰ toward mount²⁰²² Tabor,⁸³⁹⁶ and take³⁹⁴⁷ with thee ten⁶²³⁵ thousand⁵⁰⁵ men³⁷⁶ of the children¹¹²¹ of Naphtali⁵³²¹ and of the children¹¹²¹ of Zebulun?
4:7 And I will draw⁴⁹⁰⁰ unto thee to the river⁵¹⁵⁸ Kishon⁷⁰²⁸ Sisera,⁵⁵¹⁶ the captain⁸²⁶⁹ of Jabin's²⁹⁸⁵ army,⁶⁶³⁵ with his chariots⁷³⁹³ and his multitude;¹⁹⁹⁵ and I will deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ him into thine hand.
4:8 And Barak¹³⁰¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, If thou wilt go³²¹² with me, then I will go:¹⁹⁸⁰ but if thou wilt not go³²¹² with me, [then] I will not go.
4:9 And she said,⁵⁵⁹ I will surely¹⁹⁸⁰ go³²¹² with thee: notwithstanding⁶⁵⁷ the journey¹⁸⁷⁰ that thou takest¹⁹⁸⁰ shall not be for thine honour;⁸⁵⁹⁷ for the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall sell⁴³⁷⁶ Sisera⁵⁵¹⁶ into the hand³⁰²⁷ of a woman.⁸⁰² And Deborah¹⁶⁸³ arose,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and went³²¹² with Barak¹³⁰¹ to Kedesh.
4:10 And Barak¹³⁰¹ called²¹⁹⁹ Zebulun²⁰⁷⁴ and Naphtali⁵³²¹ to Kedesh;⁶⁹⁴³ and he went up⁵⁹²⁷ with ten⁶²³⁵ thousand⁵⁰⁵ men³⁷⁶ at his feet:⁷²⁷² and Deborah¹⁶⁸³ went up
4:11^C Now Heber²²⁶⁸ the Kenite,⁷⁰¹⁷ [which was] of the children¹¹²¹ of Hobab²²⁴⁶ the father in law²⁸⁵⁹ of Moses,⁴⁸⁷² had severed⁶⁵⁰⁴ himself from the Kenites,⁷⁰¹⁷ and pitched⁵¹⁸⁶ his tent¹⁶⁸ unto the plain⁴³⁶ of Zaanaim,⁶⁸¹⁵ which [is] by Kedesh.
4:12 And they shewed⁵⁰⁴⁶ Sisera⁵⁵¹⁶ that Barak¹³⁰¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Abinoam⁴² was gone up⁵⁹²⁷ to mount²⁰²² Tabor.
4:13^C And Sisera⁵⁵¹⁶ gathered together²¹⁹⁹ all his chariots,⁷³⁹³ [even] nine⁸⁶⁷² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ chariots⁷³⁹³ of iron,¹²⁷⁰ and all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that [were] with him, from Harosheth²⁸⁰⁰ of the Gentiles¹⁴⁷¹ unto the river⁵¹⁵⁸ of Kishon.
4:14 And Deborah¹⁶⁸³ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Barak,¹³⁰¹ Up;⁶⁹⁶⁵ for this [is] the day³¹¹⁷ in which the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ Sisera⁵⁵¹⁶ into thine hand:³⁰²⁷ is not the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ gone out³³¹⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee? So Barak¹³⁰¹ went down³³⁸¹ from mount²⁰²² Tabor,⁸³⁹⁶ and ten⁶²³⁵ thousand⁵⁰⁵ men³⁷⁶ after
4:15^C And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ discomfited²⁰⁰⁰ Sisera,⁵⁵¹⁶ and all [his] chariots,⁷³⁹³ and all [his] host,⁴²⁶⁴ with the edge⁶³¹⁰ of the sword²⁷¹⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Barak;¹³⁰¹ so that Sisera⁵⁵¹⁶ lighted down³³⁸¹ off [his] chariot,⁴⁸¹⁸ and fled away⁵¹²⁷ on his feet.
4:16 But Barak¹³⁰¹ pursued⁷²⁹¹ after³¹⁰ the chariots,⁷³⁹³ and after the host,⁴²⁶⁴ unto Harosheth²⁸⁰⁰ of the Gentiles:¹⁴⁷¹ and all the host⁴²⁶⁴ of Sisera⁵⁵¹⁶ fell⁵³⁰⁷ upon the edge⁶³¹⁰ of the sword;²⁷¹⁹ [and] there was not a man²⁵⁹ left.
4:17 Howbeit Sisera⁵⁵¹⁶ fled away⁵¹²⁷ on his feet⁷²⁷² to the tent¹⁶⁸ of Jael³²⁷⁸ the wife⁸⁰² of Heber²²⁶⁸ the Kenite:⁷⁰¹⁷ for [there was] peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ between Jabin²⁹⁸⁵ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Hazor²⁶⁷⁴ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Heber²²⁶⁸ the Kenite.
4:18 And Jael³²⁷⁸ went out³³¹⁸ to meet⁷¹²⁵ Sisera,⁵⁵¹⁶ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Turn in,⁵⁴⁹³ my lord,¹¹³ turn in⁵⁴⁹³ to me; fear³³⁷² not. And when he had turned in⁵⁴⁹³ unto her into the tent,¹⁶⁸ she covered³⁶⁸⁰ him with a mantle.
4:19 And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little⁴⁵⁹² water⁴³²⁵ to drink;⁸²⁴⁸ for I am thirsty.⁶⁷⁷⁰ And she opened⁶⁶⁰⁵ a bottle⁴⁹⁹⁷ of milk,²⁴⁶¹ and gave him drink,⁸²⁴⁸ and covered
4:20 Again he said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, Stand in⁵⁹⁷⁵ the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the tent,¹⁶⁸ and it shall be, when any man³⁷⁶ doth come⁹³⁵ and enquire⁷⁵⁹² of thee, and say,⁵⁵⁹ Is there³⁴²⁶ any man³⁷⁶ here?³⁴²⁶ that thou shalt say,
4:21^C Then Jael³²⁷⁸ Heber's²²⁶⁸ wife⁸⁰² took³⁹⁴⁷ a nail³⁴⁸⁹ of the tent,¹⁶⁸ and took⁷⁷⁶⁰ an hammer⁴⁷¹⁸ in her hand,³⁰²⁷ and went⁹³⁵ softly³⁸¹⁴ unto him, and smote⁸⁶²⁸ the nail³⁴⁸⁹ into his temples,⁷⁵⁴¹ and fastened⁶⁷⁹⁵ it into the ground:⁷⁷⁶ for he was fast asleep⁷²⁹⁰ and weary.⁵⁷⁷⁴ So he died.
4:22 And, behold, as Barak¹³⁰¹ pursued⁷²⁹¹ Sisera,⁵⁵¹⁶ Jael³²⁷⁸ came out³³¹⁸ to meet⁷¹²⁵ him, and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Come,³²¹² and I will shew⁷²⁰⁰ thee the man³⁷⁶ whom thou seekest.¹²⁴⁵ And when he came⁹³⁵ into her [tent], behold, Sisera⁵⁵¹⁶ lay⁵³⁰⁷ dead,⁴¹⁹¹ and the nail³⁴⁸⁹ [was] in his temples.
4:23 So God⁴³⁰ subdued³⁶⁶⁵ on that day³¹¹⁷ Jabin²⁹⁸⁵ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Canaan³⁶⁶⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.
4:24 And the hand³⁰²⁷ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ prospered,^32121980 and prevailed⁷¹⁸⁶ against Jabin²⁹⁸⁵ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Canaan,³⁶⁶⁷ until they had destroyed³⁷⁷² Jabin²⁹⁸⁵ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Canaan.

[Judges 5]
5:1 Then sang⁷⁸⁹¹ Deborah¹⁶⁸³ and Barak¹³⁰¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Abinoam⁴² on that day,³¹¹⁷ saying,
5:2 Praise¹²⁸⁸ ye the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ for the avenging^65446546 of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ when the people⁵⁹⁷¹ willingly offered
5:3 Hear,⁸⁰⁸⁵ O ye kings;⁴⁴²⁸ give ear,²³⁸ O ye princes;⁷³³⁶ I, [even] I, will sing⁷⁸⁹¹ unto the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ I will sing²¹⁶⁷ [praise] to the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel.
5:4^C LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ when thou wentest out³³¹⁸ of Seir,⁸¹⁶⁵ when thou marchedst out⁶⁸⁰⁵ of the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ of Edom,¹²³ the earth⁷⁷⁶ trembled,⁷⁴⁹³ and the heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ dropped,⁵¹⁹⁷ the clouds⁵⁶⁴⁵ also dropped⁵¹⁹⁷ water.
5:5 The mountains²⁰²² melted⁵¹⁴⁰ from before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ [even] that Sinai⁵⁵¹⁴ from before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel.
5:6 In the days³¹¹⁷ of Shamgar⁸⁰⁴⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Anath,⁶⁰⁶⁷ in the days³¹¹⁷ of Jael,³²⁷⁸ the highways⁷³⁴ were unoccupied,²³⁰⁸ and the travellers¹⁹⁸⁰ walked³²¹² through byways.⁶¹²⁸
5:7 [The inhabitants of] the villages⁶⁵²⁰ ceased,²³⁰⁸ they ceased²³⁰⁸ in Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ until that I Deborah¹⁶⁸³ arose,⁶⁹⁶⁵ that I arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ a mother⁵¹⁷ in Israel.
5:8 They chose⁹⁷⁷ new²³¹⁹ gods;⁴³⁰ then [was] war³⁹⁰¹ in the gates:⁸¹⁷⁹ was there a shield⁴⁰⁴³ or spear⁷⁴²⁰ seen⁷²⁰⁰ among forty⁷⁰⁵ thousand⁵⁰⁵ in Israel?
5:9 My heart³⁸²⁰ [is] toward the governors²⁷¹⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that offered themselves willingly⁵⁰⁶⁸ among the people.⁵⁹⁷¹ Bless¹²⁸⁸ ye the LORD.
5:10 Speak,⁷⁸⁷⁸ ye that ride⁷³⁹² on white⁶⁷¹⁵ asses,⁸⁶⁰ ye that sit³⁴²⁷ in judgment,⁴⁰⁵⁵ and walk¹⁹⁸⁰ by the way.
5:11 [They that are delivered] from the noise⁶⁹⁶³ of archers²⁶⁸⁶ in the places of drawing water,⁴⁸⁵⁷ there shall they rehearse⁸⁵⁶⁷ the righteous acts⁶⁶⁶⁶ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ [even] the righteous acts⁶⁶⁶⁶ [toward the inhabitants] of his villages⁶⁵²⁰ in Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ then shall the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ go down³³⁸¹ to the gates.
5:12 Awake,⁵⁷⁸² awake,⁵⁷⁸² Deborah:¹⁶⁸³ awake,⁵⁷⁸² awake,⁵⁷⁸² utter¹⁶⁹⁶ a song:⁷⁸⁹² arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ Barak,¹³⁰¹ and lead thy captivity⁷⁶²⁸ captive,⁷⁶¹⁷ thou son¹¹²¹ of Abinoam.
5:13 Then he made him that remaineth⁸³⁰⁰ have dominion⁷²⁸⁷ over the nobles¹¹⁷ among the people:⁵⁹⁷¹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ made me have dominion⁷²⁸⁷ over the mighty.
5:14 Out of Ephraim⁶⁶⁹ [was there] a root⁸³²⁸ of them against Amalek;⁶⁰⁰² after³¹⁰ thee, Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ among thy people;⁵⁹⁷¹ out of Machir⁴³⁵³ came down³³⁸¹ governors,²⁷¹⁰ and out of Zebulun²⁰⁷⁴ they that handle⁴⁹⁰⁰ the pen⁷⁶²⁶ of the writer.
5:15 And the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Issachar³⁴⁸⁵ [were] with Deborah;¹⁶⁸³ even Issachar,³⁴⁸⁵ and also Barak:¹³⁰¹ he was sent⁷⁹⁷¹ on foot⁷²⁷² into the valley.⁶⁰¹⁰ For the divisions⁶³⁹⁰ of Reuben⁷²⁰⁵ [there were] great¹⁴¹⁹ thoughts²⁷¹¹ of heart.
5:16 Why abodest³⁴²⁷ thou among⁹⁹⁶ the sheepfolds,⁴⁹⁴² to hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the bleatings⁸²⁹² of the flocks?⁵⁷³⁹ For the divisions⁶³⁹⁰ of Reuben⁷²⁰⁵ [there were] great¹⁴¹⁹ searchings²⁷¹⁴ of heart.
5:17 Gilead¹⁵⁶⁸ abode⁷⁹³¹ beyond⁵⁶⁷⁶ Jordan:³³⁸³ and why did Dan¹⁸³⁵ remain¹⁴⁸¹ in ships?⁵⁹¹ Asher⁸³⁶ continued³⁴²⁷ on the sea³²²⁰ shore,²³⁴⁸ and abode⁷⁹³¹ in his breaches.
5:18 Zebulun²⁰⁷⁴ and Naphtali⁵³²¹ [were] a people⁵⁹⁷¹ [that] jeoparded²⁷⁷⁸ their lives⁵³¹⁵ unto the death⁴¹⁹¹ in the high places⁴⁷⁹¹ of the field.
5:19^C The kings⁴⁴²⁸ came⁹³⁵ [and] fought,³⁸⁹⁸ then fought³⁸⁹⁸ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Canaan³⁶⁶⁷ in Taanach⁸⁵⁹⁰ by the waters⁴³²⁵ of Megiddo;⁴⁰²³ they took³⁹⁴⁷ no gain¹²¹⁵ of money.
5:20^C They fought³⁸⁹⁸ from heaven;⁸⁰⁶⁴ the stars³⁵⁵⁶ in their courses⁴⁵⁴⁶ fought³⁸⁹⁸ against Sisera.
5:21 The river⁵¹⁵⁸ of Kishon⁷⁰²⁸ swept them away,¹⁶⁴⁰ that ancient⁶⁹¹⁷ river,⁵¹⁵⁸ the river⁵¹⁵⁸ Kishon.⁷⁰²⁸ O my soul,⁵³¹⁵ thou hast trodden down¹⁸⁶⁹ strength.
5:22 Then were the horsehoofs^61195483 broken¹⁹⁸⁶ by the means of the pransings,¹⁷²⁶ the pransings¹⁷²⁶ of their mighty ones.
5:23^C Curse⁷⁷⁹ ye Meroz,⁴⁷⁸⁹ said⁵⁵⁹ the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ curse⁷⁷⁹ ye bitterly⁷⁷⁹ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ thereof; because they came⁹³⁵ not to the help⁵⁸³³ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ to the help⁵⁸³³ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ against the mighty.
5:24 Blessed¹²⁸⁸ above women⁸⁰² shall Jael³²⁷⁸ the wife⁸⁰² of Heber²²⁶⁸ the Kenite⁷⁰¹⁷ be, blessed¹²⁸⁸ shall she be above women⁸⁰² in the tent.
5:25 He asked⁷⁵⁹² water,⁴³²⁵ [and] she gave⁵⁴¹⁴ [him] milk;²⁴⁶¹ she brought forth⁷¹²⁶ butter²⁵²⁹ in a lordly¹¹⁷ dish.
5:26 She put⁷⁹⁷¹ her hand³⁰²⁷ to the nail,³⁴⁸⁹ and her right hand³²²⁵ to the workmen's⁶⁰⁰¹ hammer;¹⁹⁸⁹ and with the hammer she smote¹⁹⁸⁶ Sisera,⁵⁵¹⁶ she smote off⁴²⁷⁷ his head,⁷²¹⁸ when she had pierced⁴²⁷² and stricken through²⁴⁹⁸ his temples.
5:27 At her feet⁷²⁷² he bowed,³⁷⁶⁶ he fell,⁵³⁰⁷ he lay down:⁷⁹⁰¹ at her feet⁷²⁷² he bowed,³⁷⁶⁶ he fell:⁵³⁰⁷ where⁸³⁴ he bowed,³⁷⁶⁶ there he fell down⁵³⁰⁷ dead.
5:28 The mother⁵¹⁷ of Sisera⁵⁵¹⁶ looked⁸²⁵⁹ out at a window,²⁴⁷⁴ and cried²⁹⁸⁰ through the lattice,⁸²² Why is his chariot⁷³⁹³ [so] long⁹⁵⁴ in coming?⁹³⁵ why tarry³⁰⁹ the wheels⁶⁴⁷¹ of his chariots?
5:29 Her wise²⁴⁵⁰ ladies⁸²⁸² answered⁶⁰³⁰ her, yea, she returned⁷⁷²⁵ answer
5:30 Have they not sped?⁴⁶⁷² have they [not] divided²⁵⁰⁵ the prey;⁷⁹⁹⁸ to every⁷²¹⁸ man¹³⁹⁷ a damsel⁷³⁵⁶ [or] two;⁷³⁶¹ to Sisera⁵⁵¹⁶ a prey⁷⁹⁹⁸ of divers colours,⁶⁶⁴⁸ a prey⁷⁹⁹⁸ of divers colours⁶⁶⁴⁸ of needlework,⁷⁵⁵³ of divers colours⁶⁶⁴⁸ of needlework on both sides,⁷⁵⁵³ [meet] for the necks⁶⁶⁷⁷ of [them that take] the spoil?
5:31 So let all thine enemies³⁴¹ perish,⁶ O LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ but [let] them that love¹⁵⁷ him [be] as the sun⁸¹²¹ when he goeth forth³³¹⁸ in his might.¹³⁶⁹ And the land⁷⁷⁶ had rest⁸²⁵² forty⁷⁰⁵ years.

[Judges 6]
6:1 And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ did⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ them into the hand³⁰²⁷ of Midian⁴⁰⁸⁰ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ years.
6:2 And the hand³⁰²⁷ of Midian⁴⁰⁸⁰ prevailed⁵⁸¹⁰ against Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ [and] because⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the Midianites⁴⁰⁸⁰ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ made⁶²¹³ them the dens⁴⁴⁹² which [are] in the mountains,²⁰²² and caves,⁴⁶³¹ and strong holds.
6:3 And [so] it was, when Israel³⁴⁷⁸ had sown,²²³² that the Midianites⁴⁰⁸⁰ came up,⁵⁹²⁷ and the Amalekites,⁶⁰⁰² and the children¹¹²¹ of the east,⁶⁹²⁴ even they came up
6:4 And they encamped²⁵⁸³ against them, and destroyed⁷⁸⁴³ the increase²⁹⁸¹ of the earth,⁷⁷⁶ till thou come⁹³⁵ unto Gaza,⁵⁸⁰⁴ and left⁷⁶⁰⁴ no sustenance⁴²⁴¹ for Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ neither sheep,⁷⁷¹⁶ nor ox,⁷⁷⁹⁴ nor ass.
6:5 For they came up⁵⁹²⁷ with their cattle⁴⁷³⁵ and their tents,¹⁶⁸ and they came⁹³⁵⁹³⁵ as¹⁷⁶⁷ grasshoppers⁶⁹⁷ for multitude;⁷²³⁰ [for] both they and their camels¹⁵⁸¹ were without number:⁴⁵⁵⁷ and they entered⁹³⁵ into the land⁷⁷⁶ to destroy
6:6 And Israel³⁴⁷⁸ was greatly³⁹⁶⁶ impoverished¹⁸⁰⁹ because⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the Midianites;⁴⁰⁸⁰ and the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ cried²¹⁹⁹ unto the LORD.
6:7 And it came to pass, when the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ cried²¹⁹⁹ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ because¹⁸² of the Midianites,
6:8 That the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ a prophet^3765030 unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ which said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ I brought you up⁵⁹²⁷ from Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and brought you forth³³¹⁸ out of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of bondage;
6:9 And I delivered⁵³³⁷ you out of the hand³⁰²⁷ of the Egyptians,⁴⁷¹⁴ and out of the hand³⁰²⁷ of all that oppressed³⁹⁰⁵ you, and drave them out¹⁶⁴⁴ from before⁶⁴⁴⁰ you, and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ you their land;
6:10 And I said⁵⁵⁹ unto you, I [am] the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God;⁴³⁰ fear³³⁷² not the gods⁴³⁰ of the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ in whose land⁷⁷⁶ ye dwell:³⁴²⁷ but ye have not obeyed⁸⁰⁸⁵ my voice.
6:11^C And there came⁹³⁵ an angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and sat³⁴²⁷ under an oak⁴²⁴ which [was] in Ophrah,⁶⁰⁸⁴ that [pertained] unto Joash³¹⁰¹ the Abiezrite:³³ and his son¹¹²¹ Gideon¹⁴³⁹ threshed²²⁵¹ wheat²⁴⁰⁶ by the winepress,¹⁶⁶⁰ to hide⁵¹²⁷ [it] from⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Midianites.
6:12 And the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ appeared⁷²⁰⁰ unto him, and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ [is] with thee, thou mighty¹³⁶⁸ man of valour.
6:13^C And Gideon¹⁴³⁹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Oh⁹⁹⁴ my Lord,¹¹³ if³⁴²⁶ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ be with us, why then is all this befallen⁴⁶⁷² us? and where [be] all his miracles⁶³⁸¹ which our fathers¹ told⁵⁶⁰⁸ us of, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Did not the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ bring us up⁵⁹²⁷ from Egypt?⁴⁷¹⁴ but now the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath forsaken⁵²⁰³ us, and delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ us into the hands³⁷⁰⁹ of the Midianites.
6:14^C And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ looked⁶⁴³⁷ upon him, and said,⁵⁵⁹ Go³²¹² in this thy might,³⁵⁸¹ and thou shalt save³⁴⁶⁷ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ from the hand³⁷⁰⁹ of the Midianites:⁴⁰⁸⁰ have not I sent
6:15^C And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Oh⁹⁹⁴ my Lord,¹³⁶ wherewith⁴¹⁰⁰ shall I save³⁴⁶⁷ Israel?³⁴⁷⁸ behold, my family⁵⁰⁴⁵⁰⁵ [is] poor¹⁸⁰⁰ in Manasseh,⁴⁵¹⁹ and I [am] the least⁶⁸¹⁰ in my father's¹ house.
6:16^C And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite⁵²²¹ the Midianites⁴⁰⁸⁰ as one²⁵⁹ man.
6:17 And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, If now I have found⁴⁶⁷² grace²⁵⁸⁰ in thy sight,⁵⁸⁶⁹ then shew⁶²¹³ me a sign²²⁶ that thou talkest
6:18 Depart⁴¹⁸⁵ not hence, I pray thee, until I come⁹³⁵ unto thee, and bring forth³³¹⁸ my present,⁴⁵⁰³ and set³²⁴⁰ [it] before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee. And he said,⁵⁵⁹ I will tarry³⁴²⁷ until thou come again.
6:19 And Gideon¹⁴³⁹ went in,⁹³⁵ and made ready⁶²¹³ a kid,^57951423 and unleavened cakes⁴⁶⁸² of an ephah³⁷⁴ of flour:⁷⁰⁵⁸ the flesh¹³²⁰ he put⁷⁷⁶⁰ in a basket,⁵⁵³⁶ and he put⁷⁷⁶⁰ the broth⁴⁸³⁹ in a pot,⁶⁵¹⁷ and brought [it] out³³¹⁸ unto him under the oak,⁴²⁴ and presented
6:20 And the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of God⁴³⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Take³⁹⁴⁷ the flesh¹³²⁰ and the unleavened cakes,⁴⁶⁸² and lay³²⁴⁰ [them] upon this¹⁹⁷⁵ rock,⁵⁵⁵³ and pour out⁸²¹⁰ the broth.⁴⁸³⁹ And he did
6:21^C Then the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ put forth⁷⁹⁷¹ the end⁷⁰⁹⁷ of the staff⁴⁹³⁸ that [was] in his hand,³⁰²⁷ and touched⁵⁰⁶⁰ the flesh¹³²⁰ and the unleavened cakes;⁴⁶⁸² and there rose up⁵⁹²⁷ fire⁷⁸⁴ out of the rock,⁶⁶⁹⁷ and consumed³⁹⁸ the flesh¹³²⁰ and the unleavened cakes.⁴⁶⁸² Then the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ departed¹⁹⁸⁰ out of his sight.
6:22^C And when Gideon¹⁴³⁹ perceived⁷²⁰⁰ that he [was] an angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Gideon¹⁴³⁹ said,⁵⁵⁹ Alas,¹⁶² O Lord¹³⁶ GOD!³⁰⁶⁹ for because³⁶⁵¹ I have seen⁷²⁰⁰ an angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ face⁶⁴⁴⁰ to face.
6:23 And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ [be] unto thee; fear³³⁷² not: thou shalt not die.
6:24^C Then Gideon¹⁴³⁹ built¹¹²⁹ an altar⁴¹⁹⁶ there unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and called⁷¹²¹ it Jehovahshalom:³⁰⁷³ unto this day³¹¹⁷ it [is] yet in Ophrah⁶⁰⁸⁴ of the Abiezrites.
6:25^C And it came to pass the same night,³⁹¹⁵ that the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Take³⁹⁴⁷ thy father's¹ young⁶⁴⁹⁹ bullock,⁷⁷⁹⁴ even the second⁸¹⁴⁵ bullock⁶⁴⁹⁹ of seven⁷⁶⁵¹ years old,⁸¹⁴¹ and throw down²⁰⁴⁰ the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of Baal¹¹⁶⁸ that thy father¹ hath, and cut down³⁷⁷² the grove
6:26 And build¹¹²⁹ an altar⁴¹⁹⁶ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God⁴³⁰ upon the top⁷²¹⁸ of this rock,⁴⁵⁸¹ in the ordered place,⁴⁶³⁴ and take³⁹⁴⁷ the second⁸¹⁴⁵ bullock,⁶⁴⁹⁹ and offer⁵⁹²⁷ a burnt sacrifice⁵⁹³⁰ with the wood⁶⁰⁸⁶ of the grove⁸⁴² which thou shalt cut down.
6:27 Then Gideon¹⁴³⁹ took³⁹⁴⁷ ten⁶²³⁵ men⁵⁸² of his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and did⁶²¹³ as the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had said¹⁶⁹⁶ unto him: and [so] it was, because he feared³³⁷² his father's¹ household,¹⁰⁰⁴ and the men⁵⁸² of the city,⁵⁸⁹² that he could not do⁶²¹³ [it] by day,³¹¹⁹ that he did⁶²¹³ [it] by night.
6:28 And when the men⁵⁸² of the city⁵⁸⁹² arose early⁷⁹²⁵ in the morning,¹²⁴² behold, the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of Baal¹¹⁶⁸ was cast down,⁵⁴²² and the grove⁸⁴² was cut down³⁷⁷² that [was] by it, and the second⁸¹⁴⁵ bullock⁶⁴⁹⁹ was offered⁵⁹²⁷ upon the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ [that was] built.
6:29 And they said⁵⁵⁹ one³⁷⁶ to another,⁷⁴⁵³ Who hath done⁶²¹³ this thing?¹⁶⁹⁷ And when they enquired¹⁸⁷⁵ and asked,¹²⁴⁵ they said,⁵⁵⁹ Gideon¹⁴³⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Joash³¹⁰¹ hath done⁶²¹³ this thing.
6:30 Then the men⁵⁸² of the city⁵⁸⁹² said⁵⁵⁹ unto Joash,³¹⁰¹ Bring out³³¹⁸ thy son,¹¹²¹ that he may die:⁴¹⁹¹ because he hath cast down⁵⁴²² the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of Baal,¹¹⁶⁸ and because he hath cut down³⁷⁷² the grove
6:31 And Joash³¹⁰¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto all that stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ against him, Will ye plead⁷³⁷⁸ for Baal?¹¹⁶⁸ will ye save³⁴⁶⁷ him? he that will plead⁷³⁷⁸ for him, let him be put to death⁴¹⁹¹ whilst [it is yet] morning:¹²⁴² if he [be] a god,⁴³⁰ let him plead⁷³⁷⁸ for himself, because [one] hath cast down⁵⁴²² his altar.
6:32 Therefore on that day³¹¹⁷ he called⁷¹²¹ him Jerubbaal,³³⁷⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Let Baal¹¹⁶⁸ plead⁷³⁷⁸ against him, because he hath thrown down⁵⁴²² his altar.
6:33 Then all the Midianites⁴⁰⁸⁰ and the Amalekites⁶⁰⁰² and the children¹¹²¹ of the east⁶⁹²⁴ were gathered⁶²² together,³¹⁶² and went over,⁵⁶⁷⁴ and pitched²⁵⁸³ in the valley⁶⁰¹⁰ of Jezreel.
6:34^C But the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came³⁸⁴⁷ upon Gideon,¹⁴³⁹ and he blew⁸⁶²⁸ a trumpet;⁷⁷⁸² and Abiezer⁴⁴ was gathered²¹⁹⁹ after
6:35 And he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ throughout all Manasseh;⁴⁵¹⁹ who also was gathered²¹⁹⁹ after³¹⁰ him: and he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ unto Asher,⁸³⁶ and unto Zebulun,²⁰⁷⁴ and unto Naphtali;⁵³²¹ and they came up⁵⁹²⁷ to meet
6:36 And Gideon¹⁴³⁹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto God,⁴³⁰ If thou wilt³⁴²⁶ save³⁴⁶⁷ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ by mine hand,³⁰²⁷ as thou hast said,
6:37^C Behold, I will put³³²² a fleece¹⁴⁹² of wool⁶⁷⁸⁵ in the floor;¹⁶³⁷ [and] if the dew²⁹¹⁹ be on the fleece¹⁴⁹² only, and [it be] dry²⁷²¹ upon all the earth⁷⁷⁶ [beside], then shall I know³⁰⁴⁵ that thou wilt save³⁴⁶⁷ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ by mine hand,³⁰²⁷ as thou hast said.
6:38 And it was so: for he rose up early⁷⁹²⁵ on the morrow,⁴²⁸³ and thrust²¹¹⁵ the fleece¹⁴⁹² together,²¹¹⁵ and wringed⁴⁶⁸⁰ the dew²⁹¹⁹ out of the fleece,¹⁴⁹² a bowl⁵⁶⁰² full⁴³⁹³ of water.
6:39^C And Gideon¹⁴³⁹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto God,⁴³⁰ Let not thine anger⁶³⁹ be hot²⁷³⁴ against me, and I will speak¹⁶⁹⁶ but this once:⁶⁴⁷¹ let me prove,⁵²⁵⁴ I pray thee, but this once⁶⁴⁷¹ with the fleece;¹⁴⁹² let it now be dry²⁷²¹ only upon the fleece,¹⁴⁹² and upon all the ground⁷⁷⁶ let there be dew.
6:40^C And God⁴³⁰ did⁶²¹³ so that night:³⁹¹⁵ for it was dry²⁷²¹ upon the fleece¹⁴⁹² only, and there was dew²⁹¹⁹ on all the ground.

[Judges 7]
7:1^C Then Jerubbaal,³³⁷⁸ who [is] Gideon,¹⁴³⁹ and all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that [were] with him, rose up early,⁷⁹²⁵ and pitched²⁵⁸³ beside the well of Harod:⁵⁸⁷⁸ so that the host⁴²⁶⁴ of the Midianites⁴⁰⁸⁰ were on the north side⁶⁸²⁸ of them, by the hill¹³⁸⁹ of Moreh,⁴¹⁷⁶ in the valley.
7:2 And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Gideon,¹⁴³⁹ The people⁵⁹⁷¹ that [are] with thee [are] too many⁷²²⁷ for me to give⁵⁴¹⁴ the Midianites⁴⁰⁸⁰ into their hands,³⁰²⁷ lest Israel³⁴⁷⁸ vaunt⁶²⁸⁶ themselves against me, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Mine own hand³⁰²⁷ hath saved
7:3^C Now therefore go to,⁴⁹⁹⁴ proclaim⁷¹²¹ in the ears²⁴¹ of the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Whosoever [is] fearful³³⁷³ and afraid,²⁷³⁰ let him return⁷⁷²⁵ and depart early⁶⁸⁵² from mount²⁰²² Gilead.¹⁵⁶⁸ And there returned⁷⁷²⁵ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ twenty⁶²⁴² and two⁸¹⁴⁷ thousand;⁵⁰⁵ and there remained⁷⁶⁰⁴ ten⁶²³⁵ thousand.
7:4^C And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Gideon,¹⁴³⁹ The people⁵⁹⁷¹ [are] yet [too] many;⁷²²⁷ bring them down³³⁸¹ unto the water,⁴³²⁵ and I will try⁶⁸⁸⁴ them for thee there: and it shall be, [that] of whom I say⁵⁵⁹ unto thee, This shall go³²¹² with thee, the same shall go³²¹² with thee; and of whomsoever I say⁵⁵⁹ unto thee, This shall not go³²¹² with thee, the same shall not go.
7:5^C So he brought down³³⁸¹ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ unto the water:⁴³²⁵ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Gideon,¹⁴³⁹ Every one that lappeth³⁹⁵² of the water⁴³²⁵ with his tongue,³⁹⁵⁶ as a dog³⁶¹¹ lappeth,³⁹⁵² him shalt thou set³³²² by himself; likewise every one that boweth down³⁷⁶⁶ upon his knees¹²⁹⁰ to drink.
7:6^C And the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of them that lapped,³⁹⁵² [putting] their hand³⁰²⁷ to their mouth,⁶³¹⁰ were three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ men:³⁷⁶ but all the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ bowed down³⁷⁶⁶ upon their knees¹²⁹⁰ to drink⁸³⁵⁴ water.
7:7^C And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Gideon,¹⁴³⁹ By the three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ men³⁷⁶ that lapped³⁹⁵² will I save³⁴⁶⁷ you, and deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ the Midianites⁴⁰⁸⁰ into thine hand:³⁰²⁷ and let all the [other] people⁵⁹⁷¹ go³²¹² every man³⁷⁶ unto his place.
7:8 So the people⁵⁹⁷¹ took³⁹⁴⁷ victuals⁶⁷²⁰ in their hand,³⁰²⁷ and their trumpets:⁷⁷⁸² and he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ all³⁷⁶ [the rest of] Israel³⁴⁷⁸ every man³⁷⁶ unto his tent,¹⁶⁸ and retained²³⁸⁸ those three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ men:³⁷⁶ and the host⁴²⁶⁴ of Midian⁴⁰⁸⁰ was beneath him in the valley.
7:9 And it came to pass the same night,³⁹¹⁵ that the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ get thee down³³⁸¹ unto the host;⁴²⁶⁴ for I have delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ it into thine hand.
7:10 But if thou fear³³⁷³ to go down,³³⁸¹ go³³⁸¹ thou with Phurah⁶⁵¹³ thy servant⁵²⁸⁸ down³³⁸¹ to the host:
7:11 And thou shalt hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ what they say;¹⁶⁹⁶ and afterward³¹⁰ shall thine hands³⁰²⁷ be strengthened²³⁸⁸ to go down³³⁸¹ unto the host.⁴²⁶⁴ Then went he down³³⁸¹ with Phurah⁶⁵¹³ his servant⁵²⁸⁸ unto the outside⁷⁰⁹⁷ of the armed men²⁵⁷¹ that [were] in the host.
7:12 And the Midianites⁴⁰⁸⁰ and the Amalekites⁶⁰⁰² and all the children¹¹²¹ of the east⁶⁹²⁴ lay⁵³⁰⁷ along in the valley⁶⁰¹⁰ like grasshoppers⁶⁹⁷ for multitude;⁷²³⁰ and their camels¹⁵⁸¹ [were] without number,⁴⁵⁵⁷ as the sand²³⁴⁴ by the sea³²²⁰ side⁸¹⁹³ for multitude.
7:13 And when Gideon¹⁴³⁹ was come,⁹³⁵ behold, [there was] a man³⁷⁶ that told⁵⁶⁰⁸ a dream²⁴⁷² unto his fellow,⁷⁴⁵³ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold, I dreamed²⁴⁹² a dream,²⁴⁷² and, lo, a cake^67426742 of barley⁸¹⁸⁴ bread³⁸⁹⁹ tumbled²⁰¹⁵ into the host⁴²⁶⁴ of Midian,⁴⁰⁸⁰ and came⁹³⁵ unto a tent,¹⁶⁸ and smote⁵²²¹ it that it fell,⁵³⁰⁷ and overturned^20154605 it, that the tent¹⁶⁸ lay along.
7:14 And his fellow⁷⁴⁵³ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ This [is] nothing else save the sword²⁷¹⁹ of Gideon¹⁴³⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Joash,³¹⁰¹ a man³⁷⁶ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ [for] into his hand³⁰²⁷ hath God⁴³⁰ delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ Midian,⁴⁰⁸⁰ and all the host.
7:15 And it was [so], when Gideon¹⁴³⁹ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ the telling⁴⁵⁵⁷ of the dream,²⁴⁷² and the interpretation⁷⁶⁶⁷ thereof, that he worshipped,⁷⁸¹² and returned⁷⁷²⁵ into the host⁴²⁶⁴ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Arise;⁶⁹⁶⁵ for the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ into your hand³⁰²⁷ the host⁴²⁶⁴ of Midian.
7:16^C And he divided²⁶⁷³ the three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ men³⁷⁶ [into] three⁷⁹⁶⁹ companies,⁷²¹⁸ and he put⁵⁴¹⁴ a trumpet⁷⁷⁸² in every man's hand,³⁰²⁷ with empty⁷³⁸⁶ pitchers,³⁵³⁷ and lamps³⁹⁴⁰ within⁸⁴³² the pitchers.
7:17 And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Look⁷²⁰⁰ on me, and do⁶²¹³ likewise: and, behold, when I come⁹³⁵ to the outside⁷⁰⁹⁷ of the camp,⁴²⁶⁴ it shall be [that], as I do,⁶²¹³ so shall ye do.
7:18 When I blow⁸⁶²⁸ with a trumpet,⁷⁷⁸² I and all that [are] with me, then blow⁸⁶²⁸ ye the trumpets⁷⁷⁸² also on every side⁵⁴³⁹ of all the camp,⁴²⁶⁴ and say,⁵⁵⁹ [The sword] of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and of Gideon.
7:19 So Gideon,¹⁴³⁹ and the hundred³⁹⁶⁷ men³⁷⁶ that [were] with him, came⁹³⁵ unto the outside⁷⁰⁹⁷ of the camp⁴²⁶⁴ in the beginning⁷²¹⁸ of the middle⁸⁴⁸⁴ watch;⁸²¹ and they had but³⁸⁹ newly⁶⁹⁶⁵ set⁶⁹⁶⁵ the watch:⁸¹⁰⁴ and they blew⁸⁶²⁸ the trumpets,⁷⁷⁸² and brake⁵³¹⁰ the pitchers³⁵³⁷ that [were] in their hands.
7:20^C And the three⁷⁹⁶⁹ companies⁷²¹⁸ blew⁸⁶²⁸ the trumpets,⁷⁷⁸² and brake⁷⁶⁶⁵ the pitchers,³⁵³⁷ and held²³⁸⁸ the lamps³⁹⁴⁰ in their left⁸⁰⁴⁰ hands,³⁰²⁷ and the trumpets⁷⁷⁸² in their right³²²⁵ hands³⁰²⁷ to blow⁸⁶²⁸ [withal]: and they cried,⁷¹²¹ The sword²⁷¹⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and of Gideon.
7:21^C And they stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ every man³⁷⁶ in his place round about⁵⁴³⁹ the camp:⁴²⁶⁴ and all the host⁴²⁶⁴ ran,⁷³²³ and cried,⁷³²¹ and fled.⁵¹²⁷
7:22^C And the three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ blew⁸⁶²⁸ the trumpets,⁷⁷⁸² and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ set⁷⁷⁶⁰ every man's³⁷⁶ sword²⁷¹⁹ against his fellow,⁷⁴⁵³ even throughout all the host:⁴²⁶⁴ and the host⁴²⁶⁴ fled⁵¹²⁷ to Bethshittah¹⁰²⁹ in Zererath,⁶⁸⁸⁸ [and] to the border⁸¹⁹³ of Abelmeholah,⁶⁵ unto Tabbath.
7:23^C And the men³⁷⁶ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ gathered themselves together⁶⁸¹⁷ out of Naphtali,⁵³²¹ and out of Asher,⁸³⁶ and out of all Manasseh,⁴⁵¹⁹ and pursued⁷²⁹¹ after³¹⁰ the Midianites.
7:24 And Gideon¹⁴³⁹ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ throughout all mount²⁰²² Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Come down³³⁸¹ against⁷¹²⁵ the Midianites,⁴⁰⁸⁰ and take³⁹²⁰ before them the waters⁴³²⁵ unto Bethbarah¹⁰¹² and Jordan.³³⁸³ Then all the men³⁷⁶ of Ephraim⁶⁶⁹ gathered themselves together,⁶⁸¹⁷ and took³⁹²⁰ the waters⁴³²⁵ unto Bethbarah¹⁰¹² and Jordan.
7:25 And they took³⁹²⁰ two⁸¹⁴⁷ princes⁸²⁶⁹ of the Midianites,⁴⁰⁸⁰ Oreb⁶¹⁵⁹ and Zeeb;²⁰⁶² and they slew²⁰²⁶ Oreb⁶¹⁵⁹ upon the rock⁶⁶⁹⁷ Oreb,⁶¹⁵⁹ and Zeeb²⁰⁶² they slew²⁰²⁶ at the winepress³³⁴² of Zeeb,²⁰⁶² and pursued⁷²⁹¹ Midian,⁴⁰⁸⁰ and brought⁹³⁵ the heads⁷²¹⁸ of Oreb⁶¹⁵⁹ and Zeeb²⁰⁶² to Gideon¹⁴³⁹ on the other side⁵⁶⁷⁶ Jordan.

[Judges 8]
8:1 And the men³⁷⁶ of Ephraim⁶⁶⁹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Why hast thou⁴¹⁰⁰ served⁶²¹³ us thus,¹⁶⁹⁷ that thou calledst⁷¹²¹ us not, when thou wentest¹⁹⁸⁰ to fight³⁸⁹⁸ with the Midianites?⁴⁰⁸⁰ And they did chide⁷³⁷⁸ with him sharply.
8:2 And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, What have I done⁶²¹³ now in comparison of you? [Is] not the gleaning⁵⁹⁵⁵ of the grapes of Ephraim⁶⁶⁹ better²⁸⁹⁶ than the vintage¹²¹⁰ of Abiezer?
8:3 God⁴³⁰ hath delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ into your hands³⁰²⁷ the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Midian,⁴⁰⁸⁰ Oreb⁶¹⁵⁹ and Zeeb:²⁰⁶² and what was I able³²⁰¹ to do⁶²¹³ in comparison of you? Then their anger⁷³⁰⁷ was abated⁷⁵⁰³ toward him, when he had said¹⁶⁹⁷ that.
8:4^C And Gideon¹⁴³⁹ came⁹³⁵ to Jordan,³³⁸³ [and] passed over,⁵⁶⁷⁴ he, and the three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ men³⁷⁶ that [were] with him, faint,⁵⁸⁸⁹ yet pursuing
8:5 And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto the men⁵⁸² of Succoth,⁵⁵²³ Give,⁵⁴¹⁴ I pray you, loaves³⁶⁰³ of bread³⁸⁹⁹ unto the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that follow⁷²⁷² me; for they [be] faint,⁵⁸⁸⁹ and I am pursuing⁷²⁹¹ after³¹⁰ Zebah²⁰⁷⁸ and Zalmunna,⁶⁷⁵⁹ kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Midian.
8:6 And the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Succoth⁵⁵²³ said,⁵⁵⁹ [Are] the hands³⁷⁰⁹ of Zebah²⁰⁷⁸ and Zalmunna⁶⁷⁵⁹ now in thine hand,³⁰²⁷ that we should give⁵⁴¹⁴ bread³⁸⁹⁹ unto thine army?
8:7 And Gideon¹⁴³⁹ said,⁵⁵⁹ Therefore when the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ Zebah²⁰⁷⁸ and Zalmunna⁶⁷⁵⁹ into mine hand,³⁰²⁷ then I will tear¹⁷⁵⁸ your flesh¹³²⁰ with the thorns⁶⁹⁷⁵ of the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ and with briers.
8:8 And he went up⁵⁹²⁷ thence to Penuel,⁶⁴³⁹ and spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto them likewise:²⁰⁶³ and the men⁵⁸² of Penuel⁶⁴³⁹ answered⁶⁰³⁰ him as the men⁵⁸² of Succoth⁵⁵²³ had answered
8:9 And he spake⁵⁵⁹ also unto the men⁵⁸² of Penuel,⁶⁴³⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ When I come again⁷⁷²⁵ in peace,⁷⁹⁶⁵ I will break down⁵⁴²² this tower.
8:10 Now Zebah²⁰⁷⁸ and Zalmunna⁶⁷⁵⁹ [were] in Karkor,⁷¹⁷⁴ and their hosts⁴²⁶⁴ with them, about fifteen^25686240 thousand⁵⁰⁵ [men], all that were left³⁴⁹⁸ of all the hosts⁴²⁶⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of the east:⁶⁹²⁴ for there fell⁵³⁰⁷ an hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ men³⁷⁶ that drew⁸⁰²⁵ sword.
8:11 And Gideon¹⁴³⁹ went up⁵⁹²⁷ by the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of them that dwelt⁷⁹³¹ in tents¹⁶⁸ on the east⁶⁹²⁴ of Nobah⁵⁰²⁵ and Jogbehah,³⁰¹¹ and smote⁵²²¹ the host:⁴²⁶⁴ for the host⁴²⁶⁴ was secure.
8:12 And when Zebah²⁰⁷⁸ and Zalmunna⁶⁷⁵⁹ fled,⁵¹²⁷ he pursued⁷²⁹¹ after³¹⁰ them, and took³⁹²⁰ the two⁸¹⁴⁷ kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Midian,⁴⁰⁸⁰ Zebah²⁰⁷⁸ and Zalmunna,⁶⁷⁵⁹ and discomfited²⁷²⁹ all the host.
8:13 And Gideon¹⁴³⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Joash³¹⁰¹ returned⁷⁷²⁵ from battle⁴⁴²¹ before⁴⁶⁰⁸ the sun
8:14 And caught³⁹²⁰ a young man⁵²⁸⁸ of the men⁵⁸² of Succoth,⁵⁵²³ and enquired⁷⁵⁹² of him: and he described³⁷⁸⁹ unto him the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Succoth,⁵⁵²³ and the elders²²⁰⁵ thereof, [even] threescore and seventeen^76577651 men.
8:15 And he came⁹³⁵ unto the men⁵⁸² of Succoth,⁵⁵²³ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold Zebah²⁰⁷⁸ and Zalmunna,⁶⁷⁵⁹ with whom ye did upbraid²⁷⁷⁸ me, saying,⁵⁵⁹ [Are] the hands³⁷⁰⁹ of Zebah²⁰⁷⁸ and Zalmunna⁶⁷⁵⁹ now in thine hand,³⁰²⁷ that we should give⁵⁴¹⁴ bread³⁸⁹⁹ unto thy men⁵⁸² [that are] weary?
8:16 And he took³⁹⁴⁷ the elders²²⁰⁵ of the city,⁵⁸⁹² and thorns⁶⁹⁷⁵ of the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ and briers,¹³⁰³ and with them he taught³⁰⁴⁵ the men⁵⁸² of Succoth.
8:17 And he beat down⁵⁴²² the tower⁴⁰²⁶ of Penuel,⁶⁴³⁹ and slew²⁰²⁶ the men⁵⁸² of the city.
8:18^C Then said⁵⁵⁹ he unto Zebah²⁰⁷⁸ and Zalmunna,⁶⁷⁵⁹ What³⁷⁵ manner of men⁵⁸² [were they] whom ye slew²⁰²⁶ at Tabor?⁸³⁹⁶ And they answered,⁵⁵⁹ As thou³⁶⁴⁴ [art], so [were] they; each one²⁵⁹ resembled⁸³⁸⁹ the children¹¹²¹ of a king.
8:19 And he said,⁵⁵⁹ They [were] my brethren,²⁵¹ [even] the sons¹¹²¹ of my mother:⁵¹⁷ [as] the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ if³⁸⁶³ ye had saved them alive,²⁴²¹ I would not slay
8:20 And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto Jether³⁵⁰⁰ his firstborn,¹⁰⁶⁰ Up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ [and] slay²⁰²⁶ them. But the youth⁵²⁸⁸ drew⁸⁰²⁵ not his sword:²⁷¹⁹ for he feared,³³⁷² because he [was] yet a youth.
8:21 Then Zebah²⁰⁷⁸ and Zalmunna⁶⁷⁵⁹ said,⁵⁵⁹ Rise⁶⁹⁶⁵ thou, and fall⁶²⁹³ upon us: for as the man³⁷⁶ [is, so is] his strength.¹³⁶⁹ And Gideon¹⁴³⁹ arose,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and slew²⁰²⁶ Zebah²⁰⁷⁸ and Zalmunna,⁶⁷⁵⁹ and took away³⁹⁴⁷ the ornaments⁷⁷²⁰ that [were] on their camels'¹⁵⁸¹ necks.
8:22 Then the men³⁷⁶ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Gideon,¹⁴³⁹ Rule⁴⁹¹⁰ thou over us, both thou, and thy son,¹¹²¹ and thy son's¹¹²¹ son¹¹²¹ also: for thou hast delivered³⁴⁶⁷ us from the hand³⁰²⁷ of Midian.
8:23 And Gideon¹⁴³⁹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, I will not rule⁴⁹¹⁰ over you, neither shall my son¹¹²¹ rule⁴⁹¹⁰ over you: the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall rule
8:24 And Gideon¹⁴³⁹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, I would desire⁷⁵⁹² a request⁷⁵⁹⁶ of you, that ye would give⁵⁴¹⁴ me every man³⁷⁶ the earrings⁵¹⁴¹ of his prey.⁷⁹⁹⁸ (For they had golden²⁰⁹¹ earrings,⁵¹⁴¹ because they [were] Ishmaelites.)
8:25 And they answered,⁵⁵⁹ We will willingly⁵⁴¹⁴ give⁵⁴¹⁴ [them]. And they spread⁶⁵⁶⁶ a garment,⁸⁰⁷¹ and did cast⁷⁹⁹³ therein every man³⁷⁶ the earrings⁵¹⁴¹ of his prey.
8:26^C And the weight⁴⁹⁴⁸ of the golden²⁰⁹¹ earrings⁵¹⁴¹ that he requested⁷⁵⁹² was a thousand⁵⁰⁵ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ [shekels] of gold;²⁰⁹¹ beside ornaments,⁷⁷²⁰ and collars,⁵¹⁸⁸ and purple⁷¹³ raiment⁸⁹⁹ that [was] on the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Midian,⁴⁰⁸⁰ and beside the chains⁶⁰⁶⁰ that [were] about their camels'¹⁵⁸¹ necks.
8:27 And Gideon¹⁴³⁹ made⁶²¹³ an ephod⁶⁴⁶ thereof, and put³³²² it in his city,⁵⁸⁹² [even] in Ophrah:⁶⁰⁸⁴ and all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ went thither a whoring²¹⁸¹ after³¹⁰ it: which thing became a snare⁴¹⁷⁰ unto Gideon,¹⁴³⁹ and to his house.
8:28 Thus was Midian⁴⁰⁸⁰ subdued³⁶⁶⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ so that they lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ their heads⁷²¹⁸ no more.³²⁵⁴ And the country⁷⁷⁶ was in quietness⁸²⁵² forty⁷⁰⁵ years⁸¹⁴¹ in the days³¹¹⁷ of Gideon.
8:29 And Jerubbaal³³⁷⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Joash³¹⁰¹ went³²¹² and dwelt³⁴²⁷ in his own house.
8:30 And Gideon¹⁴³⁹ had threescore and ten⁷⁶⁵⁷ sons¹¹²¹ of his body³⁴⁰⁹ begotten:³³¹⁸ for he had many⁷²²⁷ wives.
8:31 And his concubine⁶³⁷⁰ that [was] in Shechem,⁷⁹²⁷ she also bare³²⁰⁵ him a son,¹¹²¹ whose name⁸⁰³⁴ he called⁷⁷⁶⁰ Abimelech.
8:32 And Gideon¹⁴³⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Joash³¹⁰¹ died⁴¹⁹¹ in a good²⁸⁹⁶ old age,⁷⁸⁷² and was buried⁶⁹¹² in the sepulchre⁶⁹¹³ of Joash³¹⁰¹ his father,¹ in Ophrah⁶⁰⁸⁴ of the Abiezrites.
8:33 And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon¹⁴³⁹ was dead,⁴¹⁹¹ that the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ turned again,⁷⁷²⁵ and went a whoring²¹⁸¹ after³¹⁰ Baalim,¹¹⁶⁸ and made⁷⁷⁶⁰ Baalberith¹¹⁷⁰ their god.
8:34 And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ remembered²¹⁴² not the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ their God,⁴³⁰ who had delivered⁵³³⁷ them out of the hands³⁰²⁷ of all their enemies³⁴¹ on every side:
8:35 Neither shewed⁶²¹³ they kindness²⁶¹⁷ to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Jerubbaal,³³⁷⁸ [namely], Gideon,¹⁴³⁹ according to all the goodness²⁸⁹⁶ which he had shewed⁶²¹³ unto Israel.

[Judges 9]
9:1 And Abimelech⁴⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of Jerubbaal³³⁷⁸ went³²¹² to Shechem⁷⁹²⁷ unto his mother's⁵¹⁷ brethren,²⁵¹ and communed¹⁶⁹⁶ with them, and with all the family⁴⁹⁴⁰ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of his mother's⁵¹⁷ father,¹ saying,
9:2 Speak,¹⁶⁹⁶ I pray you, in the ears²⁴¹ of all the men¹¹⁶⁷ of Shechem,⁷⁹²⁷ Whether [is] better²⁸⁹⁶ for you, either that all the sons¹¹²¹ of Jerubbaal,³³⁷⁸ [which are] threescore and ten⁷⁶⁵⁷ persons,³⁷⁶ reign⁴⁹¹⁰ over you, or that one²⁵⁹ reign⁴⁹¹⁰ over you? remember²¹⁴² also that I [am] your bone⁶¹⁰⁶ and your flesh.
9:3 And his mother's⁵¹⁷ brethren²⁵¹ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ of him in the ears²⁴¹ of all the men¹¹⁶⁷ of Shechem⁷⁹²⁷ all these words:¹⁶⁹⁷ and their hearts³⁸²⁰ inclined⁵¹⁸⁶ to follow³¹⁰ Abimelech;⁴⁰ for they said,⁵⁵⁹ He [is] our brother.
9:4 And they gave⁵⁴¹⁴ him threescore and ten⁷⁶⁵⁷ [pieces] of silver³⁷⁰¹ out of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Baalberith,¹¹⁷⁰ wherewith Abimelech⁴⁰ hired⁷⁹³⁶ vain⁷³⁸⁶ and light⁶³⁴⁸ persons,⁵⁸² which followed³²¹² him.
9:5 And he went⁹³⁵ unto his father's¹ house¹⁰⁰⁴ at Ophrah,⁶⁰⁸⁴ and slew²⁰²⁶ his brethren²⁵¹ the sons¹¹²¹ of Jerubbaal,³³⁷⁸ [being] threescore and ten⁷⁶⁵⁷ persons,³⁷⁶ upon one²⁵⁹ stone:⁶⁸ notwithstanding yet Jotham³¹⁴⁷ the youngest⁶⁹⁹⁶ son¹¹²¹ of Jerubbaal³³⁷⁸ was left;³⁴⁹⁸ for he hid
9:6 And all the men¹¹⁶⁷ of Shechem⁷⁹²⁷ gathered together,⁶²² and all the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Millo,^44071037 and went,³²¹² and made⁴⁴²⁷ Abimelech⁴⁰ king,⁴⁴²⁸ by the plain⁴³⁶ of the pillar⁵³²⁴ that [was] in Shechem.
9:7 And when they told⁵⁰⁴⁶ [it] to Jotham,³¹⁴⁷ he went³²¹² and stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ in the top⁷²¹⁸ of mount²⁰²² Gerizim,¹⁶³⁰ and lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ his voice,⁶⁹⁶³ and cried,⁷¹²¹ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto me, ye men¹¹⁶⁷ of Shechem,⁷⁹²⁷ that God⁴³⁰ may hearken
9:8 The trees⁶⁰⁸⁶ went forth^19801980 [on a time] to anoint⁴⁸⁸⁶ a king⁴⁴²⁸ over them; and they said⁵⁵⁹ unto the olive tree,²¹³² Reign
9:9 But the olive tree²¹³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Should I leave²³⁰⁸ my fatness,¹⁸⁸⁰ wherewith by me they honour³⁵¹³ God⁴³⁰ and man,⁵⁸² and go¹⁹⁸⁰ to be promoted⁵¹²⁸ over the trees?
9:10 And the trees⁶⁰⁸⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ to the fig tree,⁸³⁸⁴ Come³²¹² thou, [and] reign
9:11 But the fig tree⁸³⁸⁴ said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Should I forsake²³⁰⁸ my sweetness,⁴⁹⁸⁷ and my good²⁸⁹⁶ fruit,⁸⁵⁷⁰ and go¹⁹⁸⁰ to be promoted⁵¹²⁸ over the trees?
9:12 Then said⁵⁵⁹ the trees⁶⁰⁸⁶ unto the vine,¹⁶¹² Come³²¹² thou, [and] reign
9:13 And the vine¹⁶¹² said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Should I leave²³⁰⁸ my wine,⁸⁴⁹² which cheereth⁸⁰⁵⁵ God⁴³⁰ and man,⁵⁸² and go¹⁹⁸⁰ to be promoted⁵¹²⁸ over the trees?
9:14 Then said⁵⁵⁹ all the trees⁶⁰⁸⁶ unto the bramble,³²⁹ Come³²¹² thou, [and] reign
9:15 And the bramble³²⁹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto the trees,⁶⁰⁸⁶ If in truth⁵⁷¹ ye anoint⁴⁸⁸⁶ me king⁴⁴²⁸ over you, [then] come⁹³⁵ [and] put your trust²⁶²⁰ in my shadow:⁶⁷³⁸ and if not, let fire⁷⁸⁴ come out³³¹⁸ of the bramble,³²⁹ and devour³⁹⁸ the cedars⁷³⁰ of Lebanon.
9:16 Now therefore, if ye have done⁶²¹³ truly⁵⁷¹ and sincerely,⁸⁵⁴⁹ in that ye have made Abimelech⁴⁰ king,⁴⁴²⁷ and if ye have dealt⁶²¹³ well²⁸⁹⁶ with Jerubbaal³³⁷⁸ and his house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and have done⁶²¹³ unto him according to the deserving¹⁵⁷⁶ of his hands;
9:17 (For my father¹ fought³⁸⁹⁸ for you, and adventured⁷⁹⁹³ his life⁵³¹⁵ far,⁵⁰⁴⁸ and delivered⁵³³⁷ you out of the hand³⁰²⁷ of Midian:
9:18 And ye are risen up⁶⁹⁶⁵ against my father's¹ house¹⁰⁰⁴ this day,³¹¹⁷ and have slain²⁰²⁶ his sons,¹¹²¹ threescore and ten⁷⁶⁵⁷ persons,³⁷⁶ upon one²⁵⁹ stone,⁶⁸ and have made Abimelech,⁴⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of his maidservant,⁵¹⁹ king⁴⁴²⁷ over the men¹¹⁶⁷ of Shechem,⁷⁹²⁷ because he [is] your brother;)
9:19 If ye then have dealt⁶²¹³ truly⁵⁷¹ and sincerely⁸⁵⁴⁹ with Jerubbaal³³⁷⁸ and with his house¹⁰⁰⁴ this day,³¹¹⁷ [then] rejoice⁸⁰⁵⁵ ye in Abimelech,⁴⁰ and let him also rejoice
9:20 But if not, let fire⁷⁸⁴ come out³³¹⁸ from Abimelech,⁴⁰ and devour³⁹⁸ the men¹¹⁶⁷ of Shechem,⁷⁹²⁷ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Millo;^44071037 and let fire⁷⁸⁴ come out³³¹⁸ from the men¹¹⁶⁷ of Shechem,⁷⁹²⁷ and from the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Millo,^44071037 and devour³⁹⁸ Abimelech.
9:21 And Jotham³¹⁴⁷ ran away,¹²⁷² and fled,⁵¹²⁷ and went³²¹² to Beer,⁸⁷⁶ and dwelt³⁴²⁷ there, for fear⁶⁴⁴⁰ of Abimelech⁴⁰ his brother.
9:22 When Abimelech⁴⁰ had reigned⁷⁷⁸⁶ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years⁸¹⁴¹ over Israel,
9:23 Then God⁴³⁰ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ an evil⁷⁴⁵¹ spirit⁷³⁰⁷ between Abimelech⁴⁰ and the men¹¹⁶⁷ of Shechem;⁷⁹²⁷ and the men¹¹⁶⁷ of Shechem⁷⁹²⁷ dealt treacherously⁸⁹⁸ with Abimelech:
9:24 That the cruelty²⁵⁵⁵ [done] to the threescore and ten⁷⁶⁵⁷ sons¹¹²¹ of Jerubbaal³³⁷⁸ might come,⁹³⁵ and their blood¹⁸¹⁸ be laid⁷⁷⁶⁰ upon Abimelech⁴⁰ their brother,²⁵¹ which slew²⁰²⁶ them; and upon the men¹¹⁶⁷ of Shechem,⁷⁹²⁷ which aided^23883027 him in the killing²⁰²⁶ of his brethren.
9:25 And the men¹¹⁶⁷ of Shechem⁷⁹²⁷ set⁷⁷⁶⁰ liers in wait⁶⁹³ for him in the top⁷²¹⁸ of the mountains,²⁰²² and they robbed¹⁴⁹⁷ all that came⁵⁶⁷⁴ along that way¹⁸⁷⁰ by them: and it was told⁵⁰⁴⁶ Abimelech.
9:26 And Gaal¹⁶⁰³ the son¹¹²¹ of Ebed⁵⁶⁵¹ came⁹³⁵ with his brethren,²⁵¹ and went over⁵⁶⁷⁴ to Shechem:⁷⁹²⁷ and the men¹¹⁶⁷ of Shechem⁷⁹²⁷ put their confidence
9:27 And they went out³³¹⁸ into the fields,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and gathered¹²¹⁹ their vineyards,³⁷⁵⁴ and trode¹⁸⁶⁹ [the grapes], and made⁶²¹³ merry,¹⁹⁷⁴ and went⁹³⁵ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their god,⁴³⁰ and did eat³⁹⁸ and drink,⁸³⁵⁴ and cursed⁷⁰⁴³ Abimelech.
9:28 And Gaal¹⁶⁰³ the son¹¹²¹ of Ebed⁵⁶⁵¹ said,⁵⁵⁹ Who [is] Abimelech,⁴⁰ and who [is] Shechem,⁷⁹²⁷ that we should serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ him? [is] not [he] the son¹¹²¹ of Jerubbaal?³³⁷⁸ and Zebul²⁰⁸³ his officer?⁶⁴⁹⁶ serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ the men⁵⁸² of Hamor²⁵⁴⁴ the father¹ of Shechem:⁷⁹²⁷ for why should we serve
9:29 And would to God this people⁵⁹⁷¹ were under⁵⁴¹⁴ my hand!³⁰²⁷ then would I remove⁵⁴⁹³ Abimelech.⁴⁰ And he said⁵⁵⁹ to Abimelech,⁴⁰ Increase⁷²³⁵ thine army,⁶⁶³⁵ and come out.
9:30 And when Zebul²⁰⁸³ the ruler⁸²⁶⁹ of the city⁵⁸⁹² heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of Gaal¹⁶⁰³ the son¹¹²¹ of Ebed,⁵⁶⁵¹ his anger⁶³⁹ was kindled.
9:31 And he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ unto Abimelech⁴⁰ privily,⁸⁶⁴⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Behold, Gaal¹⁶⁰³ the son¹¹²¹ of Ebed⁵⁶⁵¹ and his brethren²⁵¹ be come⁹³⁵ to Shechem;⁷⁹²⁷ and, behold, they fortify⁶⁶⁹⁶ the city
9:32 Now therefore up⁶⁹⁶⁵ by night,³⁹¹⁵ thou and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that [is] with thee, and lie in wait⁶⁹³ in the field:
9:33 And it shall be, [that] in the morning,¹²⁴² as soon as the sun⁸¹²¹ is up,²²²⁴ thou shalt rise early,⁷⁹²⁵ and set⁶⁵⁸⁴ upon the city:⁵⁸⁹² and, behold, [when] he and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that [is] with him come out³³¹⁸ against thee, then mayest thou do⁶²¹³ to them as thou³⁰²⁷ shalt find occasion.
9:34 And Abimelech⁴⁰ rose up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that [were] with him, by night,³⁹¹⁵ and they laid wait⁶⁹³ against Shechem⁷⁹²⁷ in four⁷⁰² companies.
9:35 And Gaal¹⁶⁰³ the son¹¹²¹ of Ebed⁵⁶⁵¹ went out,³³¹⁸ and stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ in the entering⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of the city:⁵⁸⁹² and Abimelech⁴⁰ rose up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that [were] with him, from lying in wait.
9:36 And when Gaal¹⁶⁰³ saw⁷²⁰⁰ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ he said⁵⁵⁹ to Zebul,²⁰⁸³ Behold, there come³³⁸¹ people⁵⁹⁷¹ down³³⁸¹ from the top⁷²¹⁸ of the mountains.²⁰²² And Zebul²⁰⁸³ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Thou seest⁷²⁰⁰ the shadow⁶⁷³⁸ of the mountains²⁰²² as [if they were] men.
9:37 And Gaal¹⁶⁰³ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ again³²⁵⁴ and said,⁵⁵⁹ See there come³³⁸¹ people⁵⁹⁷¹ down³³⁸¹ by the middle²⁸⁷² of the land,⁷⁷⁶ and another²⁵⁹ company⁷²¹⁸ come⁹³⁵ along by the plain⁴³⁶ of¹⁸⁷⁰ Meonenim.
9:38 Then said⁵⁵⁹ Zebul²⁰⁸³ unto him, Where [is] now⁶⁴⁵ thy mouth,⁶³¹⁰ wherewith thou saidst,⁵⁵⁹ Who [is] Abimelech,⁴⁰ that we should serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ him? [is] not this the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that thou hast despised?³⁹⁸⁸ go out,³³¹⁸ I pray now,⁴⁹⁹⁴ and fight
9:39 And Gaal¹⁶⁰³ went out³³¹⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the men¹¹⁶⁷ of Shechem,⁷⁹²⁷ and fought³⁸⁹⁸ with Abimelech.
9:40 And Abimelech⁴⁰ chased⁷²⁹¹ him, and he fled⁵¹²⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him, and many⁷²²⁷ were overthrown⁵³⁰⁷ [and] wounded,²⁴⁹¹ [even] unto the entering⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the gate.
9:41 And Abimelech⁴⁰ dwelt³⁴²⁷ at Arumah:⁷²⁵ and Zebul²⁰⁸³ thrust out¹⁶⁴⁴ Gaal¹⁶⁰³ and his brethren,²⁵¹ that they should not dwell³⁴²⁷ in Shechem.
9:42 And it came to pass on the morrow,⁴²⁸³ that the people⁵⁹⁷¹ went out³³¹⁸ into the field;⁷⁷⁰⁴ and they told⁵⁰⁴⁶ Abimelech.
9:43 And he took³⁹⁴⁷ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and divided²⁶⁷³ them into three⁷⁹⁶⁹ companies,⁷²¹⁸ and laid wait⁶⁹³ in the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and looked,⁷²⁰⁰ and, behold, the people⁵⁹⁷¹ [were] come forth³³¹⁸ out of the city;⁵⁸⁹² and he rose up⁶⁹⁶⁵ against them, and smote
9:44 And Abimelech,⁴⁰ and the company⁷²¹⁸ that [was] with him, rushed forward,⁶⁵⁸⁴ and stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ in the entering⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of the city:⁵⁸⁹² and the two⁸¹⁴⁷ [other] companies⁷²¹⁸ ran upon⁶⁵⁸⁴ all [the people] that [were] in the fields,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and slew
9:45 And Abimelech⁴⁰ fought³⁸⁹⁸ against the city⁵⁸⁹² all that day;³¹¹⁷ and he took³⁹²⁰ the city,⁵⁸⁹² and slew²⁰²⁶ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that [was] therein, and beat down⁵⁴²² the city,⁵⁸⁹² and sowed²²³² it with salt.
9:46 And when all the men¹¹⁶⁷ of the tower⁴⁰²⁶ of Shechem⁷⁹²⁷ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ [that], they entered⁹³⁵ into an hold⁶⁸⁷⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the god⁴¹⁰ Berith.
9:47 And it was told⁵⁰⁴⁶ Abimelech,⁴⁰ that all the men¹¹⁶⁷ of the tower⁴⁰²⁶ of Shechem⁷⁹²⁷ were gathered together.
9:48 And Abimelech⁴⁰ gat him up⁵⁹²⁷ to mount²⁰²² Zalmon,⁶⁷⁵⁶ he and all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that [were] with him; and Abimelech⁴⁰ took³⁹⁴⁷ an axe⁷¹³⁴ in his hand,³⁰²⁷ and cut down³⁷⁷² a bough⁷⁷⁵⁴ from the trees,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and took⁵³⁷⁵ it, and laid⁷⁷⁶⁰ [it] on his shoulder,⁷⁹²⁶ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that [were] with him, What ye have seen⁷²⁰⁰ me do,⁶²¹³ make haste,⁴¹¹⁶ [and] do⁶²¹³ as I
9:49 And all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ likewise cut down³⁷⁷² every man³⁷⁶ his bough,⁷⁷⁵⁴ and followed^3212310 Abimelech,⁴⁰ and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ [them] to the hold,⁶⁸⁷⁷ and set³³⁴¹ the hold⁶⁸⁷⁷ on fire⁷⁸⁴ upon them; so that all the men⁵⁸² of the tower⁴⁰²⁶ of Shechem⁷⁹²⁷ died⁴¹⁹¹ also, about a thousand⁵⁰⁵ men³⁷⁶ and women.
9:50 Then went³²¹² Abimelech⁴⁰ to Thebez,⁸⁴⁰⁵ and encamped²⁵⁸³ against Thebez,⁸⁴⁰⁵ and took
9:51 But there was a strong⁵⁷⁹⁷ tower⁴⁰²⁶ within⁸⁴³² the city,⁵⁸⁹² and thither fled⁵¹²⁷ all the men⁵⁸² and women,⁸⁰² and all they¹¹⁶⁷ of the city,⁵⁸⁹² and shut⁵⁴⁶² [it] to them, and gat them up⁵⁹²⁷ to the top¹⁴⁰⁶ of the tower.
9:52 And Abimelech⁴⁰ came⁹³⁵ unto the tower,⁴⁰²⁶ and fought³⁸⁹⁸ against it, and went hard⁵⁰⁶⁶ unto the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the tower⁴⁰²⁶ to burn⁸³¹³ it with fire.
9:53 And a certain²⁵⁹ woman⁸⁰² cast⁷⁹⁹³ a piece⁶⁴⁰⁰ of a millstone⁷³⁹³ upon Abimelech's⁴⁰ head,⁷²¹⁸ and all to brake⁷⁵³³ his skull.
9:54 Then he called⁷¹²¹ hastily⁴¹²⁰ unto the young man⁵²⁸⁸ his armourbearer,^53753627 and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Draw⁸⁰²⁵ thy sword,²⁷¹⁹ and slay⁴¹⁹¹ me, that men say⁵⁵⁹ not of me, A woman⁸⁰² slew²⁰²⁶ him. And his young man⁵²⁸⁸ thrust him through,¹⁸⁵⁶ and he died.
9:55 And when the men³⁷⁶ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that Abimelech⁴⁰ was dead,⁴¹⁹¹ they departed³²¹² every man³⁷⁶ unto his place.
9:56 Thus God⁴³⁰ rendered⁷⁷²⁵ the wickedness⁷⁴⁵¹ of Abimelech,⁴⁰ which he did⁶²¹³ unto his father,¹ in slaying²⁰²⁶ his seventy⁷⁶⁵⁷ brethren:
9:57 And all the evil⁷⁴⁵¹ of the men⁵⁸² of Shechem⁷⁹²⁷ did God⁴³⁰ render⁷⁷²⁵ upon their heads:⁷²¹⁸ and upon them came⁹³⁵ the curse⁷⁰⁴⁵ of Jotham³¹⁴⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Jerubbaal.

[Judges 10]
10:1 And after³¹⁰ Abimelech⁴⁰ there arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ to defend³⁴⁶⁷ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ Tola⁸⁴³⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Puah,⁶³¹² the son¹¹²¹ of Dodo,¹⁷³⁴ a man³⁷⁶ of Issachar;³⁴⁸⁵ and he dwelt³⁴²⁷ in Shamir⁸⁰⁶⁹ in mount²⁰²² Ephraim.
10:2 And he judged⁸¹⁹⁹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ twenty⁶²⁴² and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years,⁸¹⁴¹ and died,⁴¹⁹¹ and was buried⁶⁹¹² in Shamir.
10:3 And after³¹⁰ him arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ Jair,²⁹⁷¹ a Gileadite,¹⁵⁶⁹ and judged⁸¹⁹⁹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ twenty⁶²⁴² and two⁸¹⁴⁷ years.
10:4 And he had thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ sons¹¹²¹ that rode⁷³⁹² on thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ ass colts,⁵⁸⁹⁵ and they had thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ cities,⁵⁸⁹² which are called⁷¹²¹ Havothjair²³³⁴ unto this day,³¹¹⁷ which [are] in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Gilead.
10:5 And Jair²⁹⁷¹ died,⁴¹⁹¹ and was buried⁶⁹¹² in Camon.
10:6 And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ did⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ again³²⁵⁴ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and served⁵⁶⁴⁷ Baalim,¹¹⁶⁸ and Ashtaroth,⁶²⁵² and the gods⁴³⁰ of Syria,⁷⁵⁸ and the gods⁴³⁰ of Zidon,⁶⁷²¹ and the gods⁴³⁰ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and the gods⁴³⁰ of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ and the gods⁴³⁰ of the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and forsook⁵⁸⁰⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and served
10:7 And the anger⁶³⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was hot²⁷³⁴ against Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and he sold⁴³⁷⁶ them into the hands³⁰²⁷ of the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and into the hands³⁰²⁷ of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon.
10:8 And that year⁸¹⁴¹ they vexed⁷⁴⁹² and oppressed⁷⁵³³ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ eighteen^80836240 years,⁸¹⁴¹ all the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ that [were] on the other side⁵⁶⁷⁶ Jordan³³⁸³ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ which [is] in Gilead.
10:9 Moreover the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ passed over⁵⁶⁷⁴ Jordan³³⁸³ to fight³⁸⁹⁸ also against Judah,³⁰⁶³ and against Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ and against the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ephraim;⁶⁶⁹ so that Israel³⁴⁷⁸ was sore³⁹⁶⁶ distressed.
10:10 And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ cried²¹⁹⁹ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ We have sinned²³⁹⁸ against thee, both because we have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ our God,⁴³⁰ and also served⁵⁶⁴⁷ Baalim.
10:11 And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ [Did] not [I deliver you] from the Egyptians,⁴⁷¹⁴ and from the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ from the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ and from the Philistines?
10:12 The Zidonians⁶⁷²² also, and the Amalekites,⁶⁰⁰² and the Maonites,⁴⁵⁸⁴ did oppress³⁹⁰⁵ you; and ye cried⁶⁸¹⁷ to me, and I delivered³⁴⁶⁷ you out of their hand.
10:13 Yet ye have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ me, and served⁵⁶⁴⁷ other³¹² gods:⁴³⁰ wherefore I will deliver³⁴⁶⁷ you no more.
10:14 Go³²¹² and cry²¹⁹⁹ unto the gods⁴³⁰ which ye have chosen;⁹⁷⁷ let them¹⁹⁹² deliver³⁴⁶⁷ you in the time⁶²⁵⁶ of your tribulation.
10:15 And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ We have sinned:²³⁹⁸ do⁶²¹³ thou unto us whatsoever seemeth⁵⁸⁶⁹ good²⁸⁹⁶ unto thee; deliver⁵³³⁷ us only, we pray thee, this day.
10:16 And they put away⁵⁴⁹³ the strange⁵²³⁶ gods⁴³⁰ from among⁷¹³⁰ them, and served⁵⁶⁴⁷ the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and his soul⁵³¹⁵ was grieved⁷¹¹⁴ for the misery⁵⁹⁹⁹ of Israel.
10:17 Then the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ were gathered together,⁶⁸¹⁷ and encamped²⁵⁸³ in Gilead.¹⁵⁶⁸ And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ assembled themselves together,⁶²² and encamped²⁵⁸³ in Mizpeh.
10:18 And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ [and] princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Gilead¹⁵⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ one³⁷⁶ to another,⁷⁴⁵³ What man³⁷⁶ [is he] that will begin²⁴⁹⁰ to fight³⁸⁹⁸ against the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon?⁵⁹⁸³ he shall be head⁷²¹⁸ over all the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Gilead.

[Judges 11]
11:1 Now Jephthah³³¹⁶ the Gileadite¹⁵⁶⁹ was a mighty man¹³⁶⁸ of valour,²⁴²⁸ and he [was] the son¹¹²¹ of an harlot:^8022181 and Gilead¹⁵⁶⁸ begat³²⁰⁵ Jephthah.
11:2 And Gilead's¹⁵⁶⁸ wife⁸⁰² bare³²⁰⁵ him sons;¹¹²¹ and his wife's⁸⁰² sons¹¹²¹ grew up,¹⁴³¹ and they thrust out¹⁶⁴⁴ Jephthah,³³¹⁶ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Thou shalt not inherit⁵¹⁵⁷ in our father's¹ house;¹⁰⁰⁴ for thou [art] the son¹¹²¹ of a strange³¹² woman.
11:3 Then Jephthah³³¹⁶ fled¹²⁷² from⁶⁴⁴⁰ his brethren,²⁵¹ and dwelt³⁴²⁷ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Tob:²⁸⁹⁷ and there were gathered³⁹⁵⁰ vain⁷³⁸⁶ men⁵⁸² to Jephthah,³³¹⁶ and went out
11:4 And it came to pass in process of time,³¹¹⁷ that the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ made war³⁸⁹⁸ against Israel.
11:5 And it was so, that when the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ made war³⁸⁹⁸ against Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ the elders²²⁰⁵ of Gilead¹⁵⁶⁸ went³²¹² to fetch³⁹⁴⁷ Jephthah³³¹⁶ out of the land⁷⁷⁶ of Tob:
11:6 And they said⁵⁵⁹ unto Jephthah,³³¹⁶ Come,³²¹² and be our captain,⁷¹⁰¹ that we may fight³⁸⁹⁸ with the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon.
11:7 And Jephthah³³¹⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto the elders²²⁰⁵ of Gilead,¹⁵⁶⁸ Did not ye hate⁸¹³⁰ me, and expel¹⁶⁴⁴ me out of my father's¹ house?¹⁰⁰⁴ and why are ye come⁹³⁵ unto me now when ye are in distress?
11:8 And the elders²²⁰⁵ of Gilead¹⁵⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Jephthah,³³¹⁶ Therefore we turn again⁷⁷²⁵ to thee now, that thou mayest go¹⁹⁸⁰ with us, and fight³⁸⁹⁸ against the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ and be our head⁷²¹⁸ over all the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Gilead.
11:9 And Jephthah³³¹⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto the elders²²⁰⁵ of Gilead,¹⁵⁶⁸ If ye bring me home again⁷⁷²⁵ to fight³⁸⁹⁸ against the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ them before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me, shall I be your head?
11:10 And the elders²²⁰⁵ of Gilead¹⁵⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Jephthah,³³¹⁶ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ be witness⁸⁰⁸⁵ between us, if we do⁶²¹³ not so according to thy words.
11:11 Then Jephthah³³¹⁶ went³²¹² with the elders²²⁰⁵ of Gilead,¹⁵⁶⁸ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ made⁷⁷⁶⁰ him head⁷²¹⁸ and captain⁷¹⁰¹ over them: and Jephthah³³¹⁶ uttered¹⁶⁹⁶ all his words¹⁶⁹⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in Mizpeh.
11:12 And Jephthah³³¹⁶ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ unto the king⁴⁴²⁸ of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ saying,⁵⁵⁹ What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come⁹³⁵ against me to fight³⁸⁹⁸ in my land?
11:13 And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ answered⁵⁵⁹ unto the messengers⁴³⁹⁷ of Jephthah,³³¹⁶ Because Israel³⁴⁷⁸ took away³⁹⁴⁷ my land,⁷⁷⁶ when they came up⁵⁹²⁷ out of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ from Arnon⁷⁶⁹ even unto Jabbok,²⁹⁹⁹ and unto Jordan:³³⁸³ now therefore restore those [lands] again⁷⁷²⁵ peaceably.
11:14 And Jephthah³³¹⁶ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ again³²⁵⁴ unto the king⁴⁴²⁸ of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon:
11:15 And said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ Jephthah,³³¹⁶ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ took not away³⁹⁴⁷ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ nor the land⁷⁷⁶ of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon:
11:16 But when Israel³⁴⁷⁸ came up⁵⁹²⁷ from Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and walked³²¹² through the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ unto the Red⁵⁴⁸⁸ sea,³²²⁰ and came⁹³⁵ to Kadesh;
11:17^C Then Israel³⁴⁷⁸ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ unto the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Edom,¹²³ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Let me, I pray thee, pass through⁵⁶⁷⁴ thy land:⁷⁷⁶ but the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Edom¹²³ would not hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ [thereto]. And in like manner they sent⁷⁹⁷¹ unto the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Moab:⁴¹²⁴ but he would¹⁴ not [consent]: and Israel³⁴⁷⁸ abode³⁴²⁷ in Kadesh.
11:18 Then they went along³²¹² through the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ and compassed⁵⁴³⁷ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Edom,¹²³ and the land⁷⁷⁶ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and came⁹³⁵ by the east side^42178121 of the land⁷⁷⁶ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and pitched²⁵⁸³ on the other side⁵⁶⁷⁶ of Arnon,⁷⁶⁹ but came⁹³⁵ not within the border¹³⁶⁶ of Moab:⁴¹²⁴ for Arnon⁷⁶⁹ [was] the border¹³⁶⁶ of Moab.
11:19 And Israel³⁴⁷⁸ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ unto Sihon⁵⁵¹¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Heshbon;²⁸⁰⁹ and Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Let us pass,⁵⁶⁷⁴ we pray thee, through thy land⁷⁷⁶ into⁵⁷⁰⁴ my place.
11:20 But Sihon⁵⁵¹¹ trusted⁵³⁹ not Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to pass⁵⁶⁷⁴ through his coast:¹³⁶⁶ but Sihon⁵⁵¹¹ gathered⁶²² all his people⁵⁹⁷¹ together,⁶²² and pitched²⁵⁸³ in Jahaz,³⁰⁹⁶ and fought³⁸⁹⁸ against Israel.
11:21 And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ Sihon⁵⁵¹¹ and all his people⁵⁹⁷¹ into the hand³⁰²⁷ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and they smote⁵²²¹ them: so Israel³⁴⁷⁸ possessed³⁴²³ all the land⁷⁷⁶ of the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of that country.
11:22 And they possessed³⁴²³ all the coasts¹³⁶⁶ of the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ from Arnon⁷⁶⁹ even unto Jabbok,²⁹⁹⁹ and from the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ even unto Jordan.
11:23 So now the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ hath dispossessed³⁴²³ the Amorites⁵⁶⁷ from before⁶⁴⁴⁰ his people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and shouldest thou possess
11:24 Wilt not thou possess³⁴²³ that which Chemosh³⁶⁴⁵ thy god⁴³⁰ giveth thee to possess?³⁴²³ So whomsoever the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God⁴³⁰ shall drive out³⁴²³ from before⁶⁴⁴⁰ us, them will we possess.
11:25 And now [art] thou any thing better²⁸⁹⁶ than Balak¹¹¹¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Zippor,⁶⁸³⁴ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Moab?⁴¹²⁴ did he ever⁷³⁷⁸ strive⁷³⁷⁸ against Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ or did he ever³⁸⁹⁸ fight
11:26 While Israel³⁴⁷⁸ dwelt³⁴²⁷ in Heshbon²⁸⁰⁹ and her towns,¹³²³ and in Aroer⁶¹⁷⁷ and her towns,¹³²³ and in all the cities⁵⁸⁹² that [be] along by the coasts³⁰²⁷ of Arnon,⁷⁶⁹ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ years?⁸¹⁴¹ why therefore did ye not recover⁵³³⁷ [them] within that time?
11:27 Wherefore I have not sinned²³⁹⁸ against thee, but thou doest^6213853 me wrong⁷⁴⁵¹ to war³⁸⁹⁸ against me: the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ the Judge⁸¹⁹⁹ be judge⁸¹⁹⁹ this day³¹¹⁷ between the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon.
11:28 Howbeit the king⁴⁴²⁸ of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ not unto the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of Jephthah³³¹⁶ which he sent
11:29 Then the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came upon Jephthah,³³¹⁶ and he passed over⁵⁶⁷⁴ Gilead,¹⁵⁶⁸ and Manasseh,⁴⁵¹⁹ and passed over⁵⁶⁷⁴ Mizpeh⁴⁷⁰⁸ of Gilead,¹⁵⁶⁸ and from Mizpeh⁴⁷⁰⁸ of Gilead¹⁵⁶⁸ he passed over⁵⁶⁷⁴ [unto] the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon.
11:30^C And Jephthah³³¹⁶ vowed⁵⁰⁸⁷ a vow⁵⁰⁸⁸ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ If thou shalt without fail⁵⁴¹⁴ deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ into mine hands,
11:31^C Then it shall be, that whatsoever³³¹⁸ cometh forth³³¹⁸ of the doors¹⁸¹⁷ of my house¹⁰⁰⁴ to meet⁷¹²⁵ me, when I return⁷⁷²⁵ in peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ from the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ shall surely be the LORD'S,³⁰⁶⁸ and I will offer it up⁵⁹²⁷ for a burnt offering.
11:32 So Jephthah³³¹⁶ passed over⁵⁶⁷⁴ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ to fight³⁸⁹⁸ against them; and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ them into his hands.
11:33 And he smote⁵²²¹ them from Aroer,⁶¹⁷⁷ even till thou come⁹³⁵ to Minnith,⁴⁵¹¹ [even] twenty⁶²⁴² cities,⁵⁸⁹² and unto the plain⁵⁸ of the vineyards,³⁷⁵⁴⁶⁴ with a very³⁹⁶⁶ great¹⁴¹⁹ slaughter.⁴³⁴⁷ Thus the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ were subdued³⁶⁶⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.
11:34 And Jephthah³³¹⁶ came⁹³⁵ to Mizpeh⁴⁷⁰⁹ unto his house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and, behold, his daughter¹³²³ came out³³¹⁸ to meet⁷¹²⁵ him with timbrels⁸⁵⁹⁶ and with dances:⁴²⁴⁶ and she [was his] only child;³¹⁷³ beside her he had neither son¹¹²¹ nor¹⁷⁶ daughter.
11:35 And it came to pass, when he saw⁷²⁰⁰ her, that he rent⁷¹⁶⁷ his clothes,⁸⁹⁹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Alas,¹⁶² my daughter!¹³²³ thou hast brought³⁷⁶⁶ me very³⁷⁶⁶ low,³⁷⁶⁶ and thou art one of them that trouble⁵⁹¹⁶ me: for I have opened⁶⁴⁷⁵ my mouth⁶³¹⁰ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and I cannot³²⁰¹ go back.
11:36 And she said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, My father,¹ [if] thou hast opened⁶⁴⁷⁵ thy mouth⁶³¹⁰ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ do⁶²¹³ to me according to that which⁸³⁴ hath proceeded³³¹⁸ out of thy mouth;⁶³¹⁰ forasmuch³¹⁰ as the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath taken⁶²¹³ vengeance⁵³⁶⁰ for thee of thine enemies,³⁴¹ [even] of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon.
11:37 And she said⁵⁵⁹ unto her father,¹ Let this thing¹⁶⁹⁷ be done⁶²¹³ for me: let me alone⁷⁵⁰³ two⁸¹⁴⁷ months,²³²⁰ that I may go up³²¹² and down³³⁸¹ upon the mountains,²⁰²² and bewail¹⁰⁵⁸ my virginity,¹³³¹ I and my fellows.⁷⁴⁶⁴
11:38 And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Go.³²¹² And he sent her away⁷⁹⁷¹ [for] two⁸¹⁴⁷ months:²³²⁰ and she went³²¹² with her companions,⁷⁴⁶⁴ and bewailed¹⁰⁵⁸ her virginity¹³³¹ upon the mountains.
11:39 And it came to pass at the end⁷⁰⁹³ of two⁸¹⁴⁷ months,²³²⁰ that she returned⁷⁷²⁵ unto her father,¹ who did⁶²¹³ with her [according] to his vow⁵⁰⁸⁸ which he had vowed:⁵⁰⁸⁷ and she knew³⁰⁴⁵ no man.³⁷⁶ And it was a custom²⁷⁰⁶ in Israel,
11:40^C [That] the daughters¹³²³ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ went³²¹² yearly^31173117 to lament⁸⁵⁶⁷ the daughter¹³²³ of Jephthah³³¹⁶ the Gileadite¹⁵⁶⁹ four⁷⁰² days³¹¹⁷ in a year.
