The Lord commandeth Gideon to send away a great part of his company. 22 The Midianites are discomfitted by a wondrous sort. 25 Oreb and Zeeb are slain.

Then (A)Jerubbaal (who is Gideon) rose up early, and all the people that were with him, and pitched beside [a]the well of Harod, so that the host of the Midianites was on the North side of them, in the valley by the hill of [b]Moreh.

And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee, are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel make their vaunt [c]against me, and say, Mine hand hath saved me.
