The third part of the Chapter.
Vers. 16. And he divided the three hundred men into three bands, and gave every man a trumpet in his hand with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. 17. And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise, when I come to the side of the host: even as I do, so do you. 18. When I blow with a trumpet and all that are with me, blow ye with trumpets also, on every side of the host, and say, for the Lord, and for Gideon. 19. So Gideon and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the host in the beginning of the middle watch, and they raised up the watchmen, and they blew with their trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands. 20. And the three companies blew with the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held their lamps in their left hands, and their trumpets in their right hands to blow withal, and they cried, The sword of the Lord and of Gideon. 21. And they stood every man in his place round about the host: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. 22. And the three hundred blew with trumpets, and the Lord set every mans sword upon his neighbour, and upon all the host: so the host fled to Beth-b•shittah in Zererah, and to the border of Abel-meholah unto Tabbah. 23. Then the men of Israel being gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Ashur, and out of all Manasseh pursued after the Midianites.
