Judges 8:10-24

8:10

Now Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>

[were] in Karkor
<07174>_,

and their hosts
<04264>

with them, about fifteen
<02568> <06240>

thousand
<0505>

[men], all that were left
<03498> (8737)

of all the hosts
<04264>

of the children
<01121>

of the east
<06924>_:

for there fell
<05307> (8802)

an hundred
<03967>

and twenty
<06242>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

that drew
<08025> (8802)

sword
<02719>_.

{men that...: or, every one drawing a sword}

8:11

And Gideon
<01439>

went up
<05927> (8799)

by the way
<01870>

of them that dwelt
<07931> (8803)

in tents
<0168>

on the east
<06924>

of Nobah
<05025>

and Jogbehah
<03011>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

the host
<04264>_:

for the host
<04264>

was secure
<0983>_.

8:12

And when Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>

fled
<05127> (8799)_,

he pursued
<07291> (8799)

after
<0310>

them, and took
<03920> (8799)

the two
<08147>

kings
<04428>

of Midian
<04080>_,

Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>_,

and discomfited
<02729> (8689)

all the host
<04264>_.

{discomfited: Heb. terrified}

8:13

And Gideon
<01439>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>

returned
<07725> (8799)

from battle
<04421>

before
<04608>

the sun
<02775>

[was up],

8:14

And caught
<03920> (8799)

a young man
<05288>

of the men
<0582>

of Succoth
<05523>_,

and enquired
<07592> (8799)

of him: and he described
<03789> (8799)

unto him the princes
<08269>

of Succoth
<05523>_,

and the elders
<02205>

thereof, [even] threescore and seventeen
<07657> <07651>

men
<0376>_.

{described: Heb. writ}

8:15

And he came
<0935> (8799)

unto the men
<0582>

of Succoth
<05523>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>_,

with whom ye did upbraid
<02778> (8765)

me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

[Are] the hands
<03709>

of Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>

now in thine hand
<03027>_,

that we should give
<05414> (8799)

bread
<03899>

unto thy men
<0582>

[that are] weary
<03287>_?

8:16

And he took
<03947> (8799)

the elders
<02205>

of the city
<05892>_,

and thorns
<06975>

of the wilderness
<04057>

and briers
<01303>_,

and with them he taught
<03045> (8686)

the men
<0582>

of Succoth
<05523>_.

{taught: Heb. made to know}

8:17

And he beat down
<05422> (8804)

the tower
<04026>

of Penuel
<06439>_,

and slew
<02026> (8799)

the men
<0582>

of the city
<05892>_.

8:18

Then said
<0559> (8799)

he unto Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>_,

What
<0375>

manner of men
<0582>

[were they] whom ye slew
<02026> (8804)

at Tabor
<08396>_?

And they answered
<0559> (8799)_,

As thou
<03644>

[art], so [were] they; each one
<0259>

resembled
<08389>

the children
<01121>

of a king
<04428>_.

{resembled...: Heb. according to the form, etc}

8:19

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

They [were] my brethren
<0251>_,

[even] the sons
<01121>

of my mother
<0517>_:

[as] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

if
<03863>

ye had saved them alive
<02421> (8689)_,

I would not slay
<02026> (8804)

you.

8:20

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jether
<03500>

his firstborn
<01060>_,

Up
<06965> (8798)_,

[and] slay
<02026> (8798)

them. But the youth
<05288>

drew
<08025> (8804)

not his sword
<02719>_:

for he feared
<03372> (8804)_,

because he [was] yet a youth
<05288>_.

8:21

Then Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Rise
<06965> (8798)

thou, and fall
<06293> (8798)

upon us: for as the man
<0376>

[is, so is] his strength
<01369>_.

And Gideon
<01439>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and slew
<02026> (8799)

Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>_,

and took away
<03947> (8799)

the ornaments
<07720>

that [were] on their camels
<01581>_'

necks
<06677>_.

{ornaments: or, ornaments like the moon}

8:22

Then the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Gideon
<01439>_,

Rule
<04910> (8798)

thou over us, both thou, and thy son
<01121>_,

and thy son's
<01121>

son
<01121>

also: for thou hast delivered
<03467> (8689)

us from the hand
<03027>

of Midian
<04080>_.

8:23

And Gideon
<01439>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, I will not rule
<04910> (8799)

over you, neither shall my son
<01121>

rule
<04910> (8799)

over you: the LORD
<03068>

shall rule
<04910> (8799)

over you.

8:24

And Gideon
<01439>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, I would desire
<07592> (8799)

a request
<07596>

of you, that ye would give
<05414> (8798)

me every man
<0376>

the earrings
<05141>

of his prey
<07998>_.

(For they had golden
<02091>

earrings
<05141>_,

because they [were] Ishmaelites
<03459>.)
