9And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said to him, “Arise, get you down to the host; for I have delivered it into hand. 10But if you fear to go down, go you with Purah, your servant, down to the host: 11And you shall hear what they say; and afterward shall your hands be strengthened to go down to the host.” Then he went down with Purah, his servant, to the outermost part of the armed men who were in the host. 12And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were beyond numbering, as the sand by the seaside for multitude. 13And when Gideon had come, behold, there was a man who told a dream to his fellow, and said, “Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came to a tent, and struck it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay flat”. 14And his fellow answered and said, “This is nothing else except the sword of Gideon, the son of Joash, a man of Israel; for into his hand has God delivered Midian, and all the host”. 15And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and its interpretation, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, “Arise; for the LORD has delivered into your hand the host of Midian”.

16And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. 17And he said to them, “Watch me, and do as I do; and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that as I do, so shall you do. 18When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then you blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, “The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon”. 19So Gideon, and the hundred men who were with him, came to the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers that were in their hands. 20And the three companies blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands with which to blow; and they cried, “The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon”. 21And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. 22And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Beth-shittah in Zererah, and to the border of Abel-meholah, unto Tabbath.

23And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites. 24And Gideon sent messengers throughout all Mount Ephraim, saying, “Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Beth-barah and the Jordan”. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto Beth-barah and the Jordan. 25And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side of the Jordan.
