Contemporary English Version
Judges 7:21-23
Contemporary English Version
21 The enemy soldiers started yelling and tried to run away. Gideon's troops stayed in their positions surrounding the camp 22 and blew their trumpets again. As they did, the Lord made the enemy soldiers pull out their swords and start fighting each other.
The enemy army tried to escape from the camp. They ran to Acacia Tree Town, toward Zeredah,[a] and as far as the edge of the land that belonged to the town of Abel-Meholah near Tabbath.[b]
23 Gideon sent word for more Israelite soldiers to come from the tribes of Naphtali, Asher, and both halves of Manasseh[c] to help fight the Midianites.
