14 And his fellow answered, and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian and all the host.
15 ¶ When Gideon heard the dream told, and the interpretation of the same, he [a]worshipped, and returned unto the host of Israel, and said, Up: for the Lord hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.
16 And he divided the three hundred men into three bands, and gave every man a trumpet in his hand with empty pitchers, and [b]lamps [c]within the pitchers.
