Trumpet » By gideon's soldiers
Gideon sent the Israelites home, except the three hundred. They kept all the supplies and trumpets. The Midianite camp was below them in the valley. That night Jehovah commanded Gideon: Get up and attack the camp. I give you victory over it! If you are afraid to attack, go to the camp with your servant Purah. read more.
You will hear what they are saying, and then you will have the courage to attack. Gideon and his servant Purah went to the edge of the enemy camp. The Midianites, the Amalekites, and the desert tribesmen were spread out in the valley like a swarm of locusts. They had so many camels they could not be counted. They were as plentiful as there are grains of sand on the seashore. When Gideon arrived, he heard a man telling a friend about a dream. He was saying: I dreamed that a loaf of barley bread rolled into our camp and hit a tent. The tent collapsed and lay flat on the ground. His friend responded: This is nothing else but the sword of Gideon, the son of Joash. For God delivered Midian and its army to this man of Israel. When Gideon heard the dream and its interpretation he worshiped God. He returned to the camp of Israel, and called out: Arise! Jehovah has delivered the camp of Midian into your hand. He divided the three hundred men into three companies. He put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty jars, and lamps within the jars. He said to them: Look at me, and do as I do. When I come to the outside of the camp do the same as I do. When I blow the trumpet, all who are with me should blow the trumpets. Blow the trumpets on every side of the camp and say: 'The sword of Jehovah, and of Gideon!' Gideon and the hundred men, who were with him, came to the outside of the camp. It was the beginning of the middle watch and they had just posted the new watch. They blew the trumpets, and broke the jars that were in their hands. The three companies blew the trumpets, and broke the jars, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands. Then they cried: The sword of Jehovah, and of Gideon! Every man stood in his place around the camp. The army ran, and cried, and fled. The three hundred blew the trumpets. Jehovah set every man's sword against his companions. They turned on each other throughout all the army. The army fled to Beth-shittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abel-meholah, to Tabbath.
