Young’s Literal Translation: Judges – Chapter 8

8:1 And the men of Ephraim say unto him, `What [is] this thing thou hast done to us — not to call for us when thou didst go to fight with Midian?’ and they strive with him severely;

8:2 and he saith unto them, `What have I done now like you? are not the gleanings of Ephraim better than the harvest of Abi-Ezer?

8:3 Into your hand hath God given the heads of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and what have I been able to do like you?’ Then their temper desisted from off him in his speaking this thing.

8:4 And Gideon cometh in unto the Jordan, passing over, he and the three hundred men who [are] with him — wearied, and pursuing,

8:5 and he saith to the men of Succoth, `Give, I pray you, cakes of bread to the people who [are] at my feet, for they [are] wearied, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna kings of Midian.’

8:6 And the heads of Succoth say, `Is the hand of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we give to thy host bread?’

8:7 And Gideon saith, `Therefore — in Jehovah’s giving Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand — I have threshed your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness, and with the threshing instruments.’

8:8 And he goeth up thence [to] Penuel, and speaketh unto them thus; and the men of Penuel answer him as the men of Succoth answered.

8:9 And he speaketh also to the men of Penuel, saying, `In my turning back in peace, I break down this tower.’

8:10 And Zebah and Zalmunna [are] in Karkor, and their camps with them, about fifteen thousand, all who are left of all the camp of the sons of the east; and those falling [are] a hundred and twenty thousand men, drawing sword.

8:11 And Gideon goeth up the way of those who tabernacle in tents, on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smiteth the camp, and the camp was confident;

8:12 and Zebab and Zalmunna flee, and he pursueth after them, and captureth the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and all the camp he hath caused to tremble.

8:13 And Gideon son of Joash turneth back from the battle, at the going up of the sun,

8:14 and captureth a young man of the men of Succoth, and asketh him, and he describeth unto him the heads of Succoth, and its elders — seventy and seven men.

8:15 And he cometh in unto the men of Succoth, and saith, `Lo Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye reproached me, saying, Is the hand of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand that we give to thy men who [are] wearied bread?’

8:16 And he taketh the elders of the city, and the thorns of the wilderness, and the threshing instruments, and teacheth by them the men of Succoth,

8:17 and the tower of Penuel he hath broken down, and slayeth the men of the city.

8:18 And he saith unto Zebah and unto Zalmunna, `How — the men whom ye slew in Tabor?’ and they say, `As thou — so they, one — as the form of the king’s sons.’

8:19 And he saith, `My brethren — sons of my mother — they; Jehovah liveth, if ye had kept them alive — I had not slain you.’

8:20 And he saith to Jether his first-born, `Rise, slay them;’ and the young man hath not drawn his sword, for he hath been afraid, for he [is] yet a youth.

8:21 And Zebah saith — also Zalmunna — `Rise thou, and fall upon us; for as the man — his might;’ and Gideon riseth, and slayeth Zebah and Zalmunna, and taketh their round ornaments which [are] on the necks of their camels.

8:22 And the men of Israel say unto Gideon, `Rule over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, for thou hast saved us from the hand of Midian.’

8:23 And Gideon saith unto them, `I do not rule over you, nor doth my son rule over you; Jehovah doth rule over you.’

8:24 And Gideon saith unto them, `Let me ask of you a petition, and give ye to me each the ring of his prey, for they have rings of gold, for they [are] Ishmaelites.’

8:25 And they say, `We certainly give;’ and they spread out the garment, and cast thither each the ring of his prey;

8:26 and the weight of the rings of gold which he asked is a thousand and seven hundred [shekels] of gold, apart from the round ornaments, and the drops, and the purple garments, which [are] on the kings of Midian, and apart from the chains which [are] on the necks of their camels,

8:27 and Gideon maketh it into an ephod, and setteth it up in his city, in Ophrah, and all Israel go a-whoring after it there, and it is to Gideon and to his house for a snare.

8:28 And Midian is humbled before the sons of Israel, and have not added to lift up their head; and the land resteth forty years in the days of Gideon.

8:29 And Jerubbaal son of Joash goeth and dwelleth in his own house,

8:30 and to Gideon there have been seventy sons, coming out of his loin, for he had many wives;

8:31 and his concubine, who [is] in Shechem, hath born to him — even she — a son, and he appointeth his name Abimelech.

8:32 And Gideon son of Joash dieth, in a good old age, and is buried in the burying-place of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abi-Ezrite.

8:33 And it cometh to pass, when Gideon [is] dead, that the sons of Israel turn back and go a-whoring after the Baalim, and set over them Baal-Berith for a god;

8:34 and the sons of Israel have not remembered Jehovah their God, who is delivering them out of the hand of all their enemies round about,

8:35 neither have they done kindness with the house of Jerubbaal — Gideon — according to all the good which he did with Israel.
