Judges 7 — Context

6

Now the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was men; but all the rest of the people kneeled to drink water.

7

The LORD said to Gideon, "I will deliver you with the men who lapped and will give the Midianites into your hands; so let all the other people go, each man to his home."

8

So the men took the people's provisions and their trumpets into their hands. And Gideon sent all the other men of Israel, each to his tent, but retained the 300 men; and the camp of Midian was below him in the valley.

9

Now the same night it came about that the LORD said to him, "Arise, go down against the camp, for I have given it into your hands.

10

"But if you are afraid to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp,

11

and you will hear what they say; and afterward your hands will be strengthened that you may go down against the camp." So he went with Purah his servant down to the outposts of the army that was in the camp.

12

Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east were lying in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand on the seashore.
