Judges 7:6-8
Legacy Standard Bible
6 Now the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was 300 men; but all the rest of the people kneeled to drink water. 7 And Yahweh said to Gideon, “I will save you (A)with the 300 men who lapped and will give the Midianites into your hands; so let all the other people go, each man to his place.” 8 So [a]the 300 men took the people’s provisions and their trumpets into their hands. And [b]Gideon sent all the other men of Israel, each to his tent, but retained the 300 men; and the camp of Midian was below him in the valley.

Judges 7:6-8
New International Version
6 Three hundred of them(A) drank from cupped hands, lapping like dogs. All the rest got down on their knees to drink.
7 The Lord said to Gideon, “With the three hundred men that lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hands.(B) Let all the others go home.”(C) 8 So Gideon sent the rest of the Israelites home but kept the three hundred, who took over the provisions and trumpets of the others.
Now the camp of Midian lay below him in the valley.
