¹⁵ Then he got together the servants of all the chiefs who were over the divisions of the land, two hundred and thirty-two of them; and after them, he got together all the people, all the children of Israel, seven thousand.

⁷ And the Lord said to Gideon, By those three hundred who were drinking with their tongues I will give you salvation and give the Midianites into your hands; let the rest of the people go away, every man to his place.

¹⁶ Then separating the three hundred men into three bands, he gave every man a horn, and a vessel in which was a flaming branch.

² And Saul was still waiting in the farthest part of Geba, under the fruit-tree in Migron: there were about six hundred men with him;

⁶ And Jonathan said to his young servant who had his arms, Come, let us go over to the armies of these men who have no circumcision: it may be that the Lord will give us help, for there is no limit to his power; the Lord is able to give salvation by a great army or by a small band.

¹⁸ But I will keep safe seven thousand in Israel, all those whose knees have not been bent to Baal, and whose mouths have given him no kisses.

O Lord, you are our God; let not man's power be greater than yours.

⁴¹ And he gave them into the hands of the nations; and they were ruled by their haters.

⁴² By them they were crushed, and made low under their hands.

⁴³ Again and again he made them free; but their hearts were turned against his purpose, and they were overcome by their sins.
