Judges 7:1-3

New American Standard Bible 1995

Gideon’s 300 Chosen Men

7 Then ^(A)Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) and all the people who were with him, rose early and camped beside ^[a]the spring of Harod; and the camp of Midian was on the north side of ^[b]them by the hill of ^(B)Moreh in the valley.

² The Lord said to Gideon, “The people who are with you are too many for Me to give Midian into their hands, ^(C)for Israel ^[c]would become boastful, saying, ‘My own ^[d]power has delivered me.’ ³ Now therefore ^[e]come, proclaim in the hearing of the people, saying, ‘^(D)Whoever is afraid and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.’” So 22,000 people returned, but 10,000 remained.
