Judges 8:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ So Gideon said to the men of Peniel, “·After I win the victory [^LWhen I return in peace], I will return and pull down this tower.”

¹⁰ Zebah and Zalmunna and their army were in the city of Karkor. About fifteen thousand men were left of the armies of the ·peoples [^Lsons] of the east. Already one hundred twenty thousand ·soldiers [^Lmen who draw the sword] had ·been killed [fallen in battle]. ¹¹ Gideon went up the road of those who live in tents [^Cthe route taken by caravans or nomads] east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and he attacked the ·enemy army [camp] ·when they did not expect it [in a surprise attack; ^Lwhile they were secure].
