Judges 6:1--9:57
And the children
<01121>
<01121>
of Israel

<08141>_.
<08141>_.
And the hand
<03027>
<03027>
of Midian
<04080>
<04080>
against Israel
<03478>_:
<03478>_:
[and] because

{prevailed: Heb. was strong}<04679>_.
And [so] it was, when Israel

<04557>_:
into the land
<0776>
it.<0776>
And Israel
<03478>
<03478>
was greatly

<03068>_.
And it came to pass, when the children
<01121>
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
<03478>
unto the LORD
<03068>
<03068>

<03068>
unto him, The LORD

<04080>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
<03068>
in this thy might
<03581>_,
<03581>_,
Israel

house

{my family...: Heb. my thousand is the meanest}<01004>_.
And Gideon

<05869>_.
And when Gideon

Then Gideon

{Jehovahshalom: that is, The LORD send peace}<033>_.
And it came to pass the same night

Then Gideon

<04196>_.
Therefore on that day
<03117>
<03117>
him Jerubbaal

{Jerubbaal: that is, Let Baal plead} {Jerubbesheth: that is, Let the shameful thing plead}<04196>_.
Then all the Midianites
<04080>
<04080>
and the Amalekites
<06002>
<06002>

<02919>_.
And God
<0430>
<0430>
so that night

Then Jerubbaal
