8:1 ¶
And the menº
of Ephraimº
saidºº
untoº
him, Whyº
hast thouº
servedºº
us thus,ºº
that thou calledstºº
us not,º
whenº
thou wentestºº
to fightºº
with the Midianites?º
And they did chideºº
withº
him sharply.º |
|
8:2
And he said to them, What have I now done in comparison of you? [is] not the gleaning of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer? |
|
8:2
And he saidºº
untoº
them, Whatº
have I doneºº
nowº
in comparison of you? [Is] notº
the gleaningº
of the grapesº
of Ephraimº
betterº
than the vintageºº
of Abiezer?º |
|
8:3
The Lord has delivered into your hand the princes of Midian{gr.Madiam}, Oreb and Zeeb{gr.Zeb}; and what could I do in comparison of you? Then was their spirit calmed toward him, when he spoke this word. |

Elohimº
hath deliveredºº
into your handsºº
the princesº
of Midian,ºº
Orebº
and Zeeb:º
and whatº
was I ableºº
to doºº
in comparison of you? Thenº
their angerº
was abatedºº
towardºº
him, when he had saidºº
that.ººº |

unto the menºº
of Succoth,º
Give,ºº
I pray you,º
loavesº
of breadº
unto the peopleº
thatº
followº

kingsº
of Midian.º |

And Gideon{gr.Gedeon} said to the men of Penuel{gr.Phanuel}, When I return in peace, I will break down this tower. |
|
8:9
And he spakeºº
alsoº
unto the menºº
of Penuel,º
saying,ºº

And caughtºº
a young manº
of the menººº
of Succoth,º
and enquiredºº
of him: and he describedºº
untoº
himº
the princesº
of Succoth,º
and the eldersº
thereof, [even] threescore and seventeenºº
men.º |
|
8:15
And Gideon{gr.Gedeon} came to the princes of Succoth{gr.Socchoth}, and said, Behold Zebah{gr.Zebee} and Zalmunna{gr.Salmana}, about whom ye reproached me, saying, [Are] the hands of Zebah{gr.Zebee} and Zalmunna{gr.Salmana} now in thy hand, that we should give bread to thy men that are faint? |
|
8:15
And he cameºº
untoº
the menºº
of Succoth,º
and said,ºº
Beholdº
Zebahº
and Zalmunna,º
with whomº
ye did upbraidºº
me, saying,ºº
[Are] the handsº
of Zebahº
and Zalmunnaº
nowº
in thine hand,º
thatº
we should giveºº
breadº
unto thy menºº
[that are] weary?º |

8:18 ¶
Then saidºº
he untoº
Zebahº
and Zalmunna,º
Whatº
mannerº
of menºº
[were they] whomº
ye slewºº

Theyº
[were] my brethren,º
[even] the sonsº
of my mother:º
[as] Yahwehº
liveth,º
ifº
ye had saved them alive,ººº
I would notº
slayºº
you. |

|
8:20

unto Jetherº
his firstborn,º
Up,ºº
[and] slayºº
them. But the youthº
drewºº
notº
his sword:º
forº
he feared,ºº
becauseº
he [was] yetº
a youth.º |
|
8:21
And Zebah{gr.Zebee} and Zalmunna{gr.Salmana} said, Rise thou and fall upon us, for thy power [is] as that of a man; and Gideon{gr.Gedeon} arose, and slew Zebah{gr.Zebee} and Zalmunna{gr.Salmana}: and he took the round ornaments that were on the necks of their camels. |
|
8:21
Then Zebahº
and Zalmunnaº
said,ºº
Riseºº
thou,º
and fallºº
upon us: forº
as the manº
[is, so is] his strength.º
And Gideonº
arose,ºº
and slewººº
Zebahº
and Zalmunna,º
and took awayººº
the ornamentsº
thatº
[were] on their camels'º
necks.º |
|

|
8:22 ¶
Then the menº
of Israelº
saidºº
untoº
Gideon,º
Ruleºº
thou over us, bothº
thou,º
andº
thy son,º
and thy son'sº
sonº
also:º
forº
thou hast deliveredºº
us from the handºº
of Midian.º |
|
8:23
And Gideon{gr.Gedeon} said to them, I will not rule, and my son shall not rule among you; the Lord shall rule over you. |
|
8:23
And Gideonº
saidºº
untoº
them, Iº
will notº
ruleºº
over you, neitherº
shall my sonº
ruleºº
over you: Yahwehº
shall ruleºº
over you. |
|
8:24 ¶
And Gideon{gr.Gedeon} said to them, I will make a request of you, and do ye give me every man an earring out of his spoils: for they had golden earrings, for they were Ishmaelites{gr.Ismaelites}. |
|
8:24 ¶
And Gideonº
saidºº
untoº
them, I would desireºº
a requestº
ofº
you, that ye would giveºº
me every manº
the earringsº
of his prey.º
(Forº
they had goldenº
earrings,º
becauseº
theyº
[were] Ishmaelites.)º |
|
8:25
And they said, We will certainly give them: and he opened his garment, and each man cast therein an earring of his spoils. |
|
8:25
And they answered,ºº
We will willinglyºº
giveºº
[them]. And they spreadººº
a garment,º
and did castºº
thereinº
every manº
the earringsº
of his prey.º |
|
8:26
And the weight of the golden earrings which he asked, was a thousand and seven hundred pieces of gold, besides the crescents, and the chains, and the garments, and the purple cloths that were on the kings of Midian{gr.Madiam}, and besides the chains that were on the necks of their camels. |
|
8:26
And the weightº
of the goldenº
earringsº
thatº
he requestedºº
wasº
a thousandº
and sevenº
hundredº
[shekels] of gold;º
besideºº
ornaments,º
and collars,º
and purpleº
raimentº
that [was] onºº
the kingsº
of Midian,º
and besideºº
the chainsº
thatº
[were] about their camels'º
necks.º |
|
8:27
And Gideon{gr.Gedeon} made an ephod of it, an set it in his city in Ephrath{gr.Ephratha}; and all Israel went thither a whoring after it, and it became a stumbling-block to Gideon{gr.Gedeon} and his house. |
|
8:27
And Gideonº
madeºº
an ephodº
thereof, and putºº
it in his city,º
[even] in Ophrah:º
and allº
Israelº
went thither a whoringººº
afterº
it: which thing becameº
a snareº
unto Gideon,º
and to his house.º |
|
8:28 ¶
And Midian{gr.Madiam}, was straitened before the children of Israel, and they did not lift up their head any more; and the land had rest forty years in the days of Gideon{gr.Gedeon}. |
|
8:28 ¶
Thus was Midianº
subduedºº
beforeº
the childrenº
of Israel,º
so that they lifted upºº
their headsº
noº
more.ºº
And the countryº
was in quietnessºº
fortyº
yearsº
in the daysº
of Gideon.º |
|
8:29 ¶
And Jerubbaal{gr.Jerobaal} the son of Joash{gr.Joas} went and sat in his house. |
|
8:29 ¶
And Jerubbaalº
the sonº
of Joashº
wentººº
and dweltºº
in his own house.º |
|
8:30
And Gideon{gr.Gedeon} had seventy sons begotten of his body, for he had many wives. |
|
8:30
And Gideonº
hadº
threescore and tenº
sonsº
of his bodyº
begotten:ºº
forº
he hadº
manyº
wives.º |
|
8:31
And his concubine was in Shechem{gr.Sychem}, and she also bore him a son, and gave him the name Abimelech. |
|
8:31
And his concubineº
thatº
[was] in Shechem,º
sheº
alsoº
bareºº
him a son,ºº
whose nameº
he calledºº
Abimelech.º |
|
8:32 ¶
And Gideon{gr.Gedeon} son of Joash{gr.Joas} died in his city, and he was buried in the sepulchre of Joash{gr.Joas} his father in Ephrath{gr.Ephratha} of Abi-Esdri. |
|
8:32 ¶
And Gideonº
the sonº
of Joashº
diedºº
in a goodº
old age,º
and was buriedºº
in the sepulchreº
of Joashº
his father,º
in Ophrahº
of the Abiezrites.º |
|
8:33
And it came to pass when Gideon{gr.Gedeon} was dead, that the children of Israel turned, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made for themselves a covenant with Baal that he should be their god. |
|
8:33
And it came to pass,º
as soon asº
Gideonº
was dead,ºº
that the childrenº
of Israelº
turned again,ºº
and went a whoringºº
afterº
Baalim,º
and madeºº
Baalberithº
their elohim.º |
|
8:34
And the children of Israel remembered not the Lord their God who had delivered them out of the hand of all that afflicted them round about. |
|
8:34
And the childrenº
of Israelº
rememberedºº
notºº
Yahwehº
their Elohim,º
who had deliveredººº
them out of the handsºº
of allº
their enemiesºº
on every side:ºº |
|
8:35
And they did not deal mercifully with the house of Jerubbaal{gr.Jerobaal}, (the same is Gideon{gr.Gedeon}) according to all the good which he did to Israel. |
|
8:35
Neitherº
shewedºº
they kindnessº
toº
the houseº
of Jerubbaal,º
[namely], Gideon,º
according to allº
the goodnessº
whichº
he had shewedºº
untoº
Israel.º |
