Now the Ephraimites asked Gideon, "Why have you treated us like this? Why didn't you call us when you went to fight Midian?" And they criticized him sharply.

But he answered them, "What have I accomplished compared to you? Aren't the gleanings of Ephraim's grapes better than the full grape harvest of Abiezer?

Gideon and his three hundred men, exhausted yet keeping up the pursuit, came to the Jordan and crossed it.

He said to the men of Succoth, "Give my troops some bread; they are worn out, and I am still pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian."

But the officials of Succoth said, "Do you already have the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna in your possession? Why should we give bread to your troops?"

From there he went up to Peniel and made the same request of them, but they answered as the men of Succoth had.

Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor with a force of about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of the armies of the eastern peoples; a hundred and twenty thousand swordsmen had fallen.

Gideon went up by the route of the nomads east of Nobah and Jogbehah and fell upon the unsuspecting army.
| |

Zebah and Zalmunna, the two kings of Midian, fled, but he pursued them and captured them, routing their entire army.

He caught a young man of Succoth and questioned him, and the young man wrote down for him the names of the seventy-seven officials of Succoth, the elders of the town.

Then Gideon came and said to the men of Succoth, "Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you taunted me by saying, 'Do you already have the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna in your possession? Why should we give bread to your exhausted men?'"
| |

He took the elders of the town and taught the men of Succoth a lesson by punishing them with desert thorns and briers.

He also pulled down the tower of Peniel and killed the men of the town.

Then he asked Zebah and Zalmunna, "What kind of men did you kill at Tabor?" "Men like you," they answered, "each one with the bearing of a prince."
| |

Gideon replied, "Those were my brothers, the sons of my own mother. As surely as the LORD lives, if you had spared their lives, I would not kill you."

Turning to Jether, his oldest son, he said, "Kill them!" But Jether did not draw his sword, because he was only a boy and was afraid.

Zebah and Zalmunna said, "Come, do it yourself. 'As is the man, so is his strength.'" So Gideon stepped forward and killed them, and took the ornaments off their camels' necks.

The Israelites said to Gideon, "Rule over us--you, your son and your grandson--because you have saved us out of the hand of Midian."
| |
| 23 | 基甸说,我ä¸ç®¡ç†ä½ 们,我的儿å也ä¸ç®¡ç†ä½ 们,惟有耶和åŽç®¡ç†ä½ 们。
But Gideon told them, "I will not rule over you, nor will my son rule over you. The LORD will rule over you."

And he said, "I do have one request, that each of you give me an earring from your share of the plunder." (It was the custom of the Ishmaelites to wear gold earrings.)

They answered, "We'll be glad to give them." So they spread out a garment, and each man threw a ring from his plunder onto it.

The weight of the gold rings he asked for came to seventeen hundred shekels, not counting the ornaments, the pendants and the purple garments worn by the kings of Midian or the chains that were on their camels' necks.
| |
| 27 | 基甸以æ¤åˆ¶é€ 了一个以弗得,设立在本城俄弗拉。åŽæ¥ä»¥è‰²åˆ—人拜那以弗得行了邪淫。这就作了基甸和他全家的网罗。
Gideon made the gold into an ephod, which he placed in Ophrah, his town. All Israel prostituted themselves by worshiping it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his family.

Thus Midian was subdued before the Israelites and did not raise its head again. During Gideon's lifetime, the land enjoyed peace forty years.
