Judges 7:19-21
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
19 So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the edge of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch,[a] just after the posting of the guards. They blew the horns and broke the jars they were holding. 20 When the three companies had blown their horns and broken their jars, they took the torches in their left hands, and in their right the horns they had been blowing, and cried out, “A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!” 21 They all remained standing in place around the camp, while the whole camp began to run and shout and flee.
