King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. And the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] did[H6213] evil[H7451] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD:[H3068] and the LORD[H3068] delivered[H5414] them into the hand[H3027] of Midian[H4080] seven[H7651] years.[H8141]

2. And the hand[H3027] of Midian[H4080] prevailed[H5810] against[H5921] Israel:[H3478] and because[H4480] [H6440] of the Midianites[H4080] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] made[H6213] them[H853] the dens[H4492] which[H834] are in the mountains,[H2022] and caves,[H4631] and strongholds.[H4679]

3. And so it was,[H1961] when[H518] Israel[H3478] had sown,[H2232] that the Midianites[H4080] came up,[H5927] and the Amalekites,[H6003] and the children[H1121] of the east,[H6924] even they came up[H5927] against[H5921] them;

4. And they encamped[H2583] against[H5921] them, and destroyed[H7843] [H853] the increase[H2981] of the earth,[H776] till[H5704] thou come[H935] unto Gaza,[H5804] and left[H7604] no[H3808] sustenance[H4241] for Israel,[H3478] neither sheep,[H7716] nor ox,[H7794] nor ass.[H2543]

5. For[H3588] they[H1992] came up[H5927] with their cattle[H4735] and their tents,[H168] and they came[H935] as[H1992] grasshoppers[H697] for multitude;[H7230] for both they[H1992] and their camels[H1581] were without[H369] number:[H4557] and they entered[H935] into the land[H776] to destroy[H7843] it.

6. And Israel[H3478] was greatly[H3966] impoverished[H1809] because[H4480] [H6440] of the Midianites;[H4080] and the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] cried[H2199] unto[H413] the LORD.[H3068]

7. And it came to pass,[H1961] when[H3588] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] cried[H2199] unto[H413] the LORD[H3068] because of[H5921] [H182] the Midianites,[H4080]

8. That the LORD[H3068] sent[H7971] a prophet[H5030] unto[H413] the children[H1121] of Israel,[H3478] which said[H559] unto them, Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of Israel,[H3478] I[H595] brought you up[H5927] [H853] from Egypt,[H4480] [H4714] and brought you forth[H3318] [H853] out of the house[H4480] [H1004] of bondage;[H5650]

9. And I delivered[H5337] you out of the hand[H4480] [H3027] of the Egyptians,[H4714] and out of the hand[H4480] [H3027] of all[H3605] that oppressed[H3905] you, and drove them out[H1644] [H853] from before[H4480] [H6440] you, and gave[H5414] you[H853] their land;[H776]

10. And I said[H559] unto you, I[H589] am the LORD[H3068] your God;[H430] fear[H3372] not[H3808] [H853] the gods[H430] of the Amorites,[H567] in whose[H834] land[H776] ye[H859] dwell:[H3427] but ye have not[H3808] obeyed[H8085] my voice.[H6963]

11. And there came[H935] an angel[H4397] of the LORD,[H3068] and sat[H3427] under[H8478] an oak[H424] which[H834] was in Ophrah,[H6084] that[H834] pertained unto Joash[H3101] the Abi-ezrite:[H33] and his son[H1121] Gideon[H1439] threshed[H2251] wheat[H2406] by the winepress,[H1660] to hide[H5127] it from[H4480] [H6440] the Midianites.[H4080]

12. And the angel[H4397] of the LORD[H3068] appeared[H7200] unto[H413] him, and said[H559] unto[H413] him, The LORD[H3068] is with[H5973] thee, thou mighty man[H1368] of valor.[H2428]

13. And Gideon[H1439] said[H559] unto[H413] him, Oh[H994] my Lord,[H113] if the LORD[H3068] be[H3426] with[H5973] us, why[H4100] then is all[H3605] this[H2063] befallen[H4672] us? and where[H346] be all[H3605] his miracles[H6381] which[H834] our fathers[H1] told[H5608] us of, saying,[H559] Did not[H3808] the LORD[H3068] bring us up[H5927] from Egypt?[H4480] [H4714] but now[H6258] the LORD[H3068] hath forsaken[H5203] us, and delivered[H5414] us into the hands[H3709] of the Midianites.[H4080]

14. And the LORD[H3068] looked[H6437] upon[H413] him, and said,[H559] Go in[H1980] this[H2088] thy might,[H3581] and thou shalt save[H3467] [H853] Israel[H3478] from the hand[H4480] [H3709] of the Midianites:[H4080] have not[H3808] I sent[H7971] thee?

15. And he said[H559] unto[H413] him, Oh[H994] my Lord,[H136] wherewith[H4100] shall I save[H3467] [H853] Israel?[H3478] behold,[H2009] my family[H504] is poor[H1800] in Manasseh,[H4519] and I[H595] am the least[H6810] in my father's[H1] house.[H1004]

16. And the LORD[H3068] said[H559] unto[H413] him, Surely[H3588] I will be[H1961] with[H5973] thee, and thou shalt smite[H5221] [H853] the Midianites[H4080] as one[H259] man.[H376]

17. And he said[H559] unto[H413] him, If[H518] now[H4994] I have found[H4672] grace[H2580] in thy sight,[H5869] then show[H6213] me a sign[H226] that thou[H7945] [H859] talkest[H1696] with[H5973] me.

18. Depart[H4185] not[H408] hence,[H4480] [H2088] I pray thee,[H4994] until[H5704] I come[H935] unto[H413] thee, and bring forth[H3318] [H853] my present,[H4503] and set[H5117] it before[H6440] thee. And he said,[H559] I[H595] will tarry[H3427] until[H5704] thou come again.[H7725]

19. And Gideon[H1439] went in,[H935] and made ready[H6213] a kid,[H1423] [H5795] and unleavened cakes[H4682] of an ephah[H374] of flour:[H7058] the flesh[H1320] he put[H7760] in a basket,[H5536] and he put[H7760] the broth[H4839] in a pot,[H6517] and brought it out[H3318] unto[H413] him under[H413] [H8478] the oak,[H424] and presented[H5066] it.

20. And the angel[H4397] of God[H430] said[H559] unto[H413] him, Take[H3947] [H853] the flesh[H1320] and the unleavened cakes,[H4682] and lay[H5117] them upon[H413] this[H1975] rock,[H5553] and pour out[H8210] the broth.[H4839] And he did[H6213] so.[H3651]

21. Then the angel[H4397] of the LORD[H3068] put forth[H7971] [H853] the end[H7097] of the staff[H4938] that[H834] was in his hand,[H3027] and touched[H5060] the flesh[H1320] and the unleavened cakes;[H4682] and there rose up[H5927] fire[H784] out of[H4480] the rock,[H6697] and consumed[H398] [H853] the flesh[H1320] and the unleavened cakes.[H4682] Then the angel[H4397] of the LORD[H3068] departed[H1980] out of his sight.[H4480] [H5869]

22. And when Gideon[H1439] perceived[H7200] that[H3588] he[H1931] was an angel[H4397] of the LORD,[H3068] Gideon[H1439] said,[H559] Alas,[H162] O Lord[H136] GOD![H3069] for[H3588] because[H5921] [H3651] I have seen[H7200] an angel[H4397] of the LORD[H3068] face[H6440] to[H413] face.[H6440]

23. And the LORD[H3068] said[H559] unto him, Peace[H7965] be unto thee; fear[H3372] not:[H408] thou shalt not[H3808] die.[H4191]

24. Then Gideon[H1439] built[H1129] an altar[H4196] there[H8033] unto the LORD,[H3068] and called[H7121] it Jehovah-shalom:[H3073] unto[H5704] this[H2088] day[H3117] it is yet[H5750] in Ophrah[H6084] of the Abi-ezrites.[H33]

25. And it came to pass[H1961] the same[H1931] night,[H3915] that the LORD[H3068] said[H559] unto him, Take[H3947] [H853] thy father's[H1] young bullock,[H6499] [H7794] even the second[H8145] bullock[H6499] of seven[H7651] years[H8141] old, and throw down[H2040] [H853] the altar[H4196] of Baal[H1168] that[H834] thy father[H1] hath, and cut down[H3772] the grove[H842] that[H834] is by[H5921] it:

26. And build[H1129] an altar[H4196] unto the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] upon[H5921] the top[H7218] of this[H2088] rock,[H4581] in the ordered place,[H4634] and take[H3947] [H853] the second[H8145] bullock,[H6499] and offer[H5927] a burnt sacrifice[H5930] with the wood[H6086] of the grove[H842] which[H834] thou shalt cut down.[H3772]

27. Then Gideon[H1439] took[H3947] ten[H6235] men[H376] of his servants,[H4480] [H5650] and did[H6213] as[H834] the LORD[H3068] had said[H1696] unto[H413] him: and so it was,[H1961] because[H834] he feared[H3372] [H853] his father's[H1] household,[H1004] and the men[H376] of the city,[H5892] that he could not do[H4480] [H6213] it by day,[H3119] that he did[H6213] it by night.[H3915]

28. And when the men[H376] of the city[H5892] arose early[H7925] in the morning,[H1242] behold,[H2009] the altar[H4196] of Baal[H1168] was cast down,[H5422] and the grove[H842] was cut down[H3772] that[H834] was by[H5921] it, and the second[H8145] bullock[H6499] was offered[H5927] upon[H5921] the altar[H4196] that was built.[H1129]

29. And they said[H559] one[H376] to[H413] another,[H7453] Who[H4310] hath done[H6213] this[H2088] thing?[H1697] And when they inquired[H1875] and asked,[H1245] they said,[H559] Gideon[H1439] the son[H1121] of Joash[H3101] hath done[H6213] this[H2088] thing.[H1697]

30. Then the men[H376] of the city[H5892] said[H559] unto[H413] Joash,[H3101] Bring out[H3318] [H853] thy son,[H1121] that he may die:[H4191] because[H3588] he hath cast down[H5422] [H853] the altar[H4196] of Baal,[H1168] and because[H3588] he hath cut down[H3772] the grove[H842] that[H834] was by[H5921] it.

31. And Joash[H3101] said[H559] unto all[H3605] that[H834] stood[H5975] against[H5921] him, Will ye[H859] plead[H7378] for Baal?[H1168] will ye[H859] save[H3467] him? he that[H834] will plead[H7378] for him, let him be put to death[H4191] whilst[H5704] it is yet morning:[H1242] if[H518] he[H1931] be a god,[H430] let him plead[H7378] for himself, because[H3588] one hath cast down[H5422] [H853] his altar.[H4196]

32. Therefore on that[H1931] day[H3117] he called[H7121] him Jerubbaal,[H3378] saying,[H559] Let Baal[H1168] plead[H7378] against him, because[H3588] he hath thrown down[H5422] [H853] his altar.[H4196]

33. Then all[H3605] the Midianites[H4080] and the Amalekites[H6003] and the children[H1121] of the east[H6924] were gathered[H622] together,[H3162] and went over,[H5674] and pitched[H2583] in the valley[H6010] of Jezreel.[H3157]

34. But the Spirit[H7307] of the LORD[H3068] came upon[H3847] [H853] Gideon,[H1439] and he blew[H8628] a trumpet;[H7782] and Abi-ezer[H44] was gathered[H2199] after[H310] him.

35. And he sent[H7971] messengers[H4397] throughout all[H3605] Manasseh;[H4519] who[H1931] also[H1571] was gathered[H2199] after[H310] him: and he sent[H7971] messengers[H4397] unto Asher,[H836] and unto Zebulun,[H2074] and unto Naphtali;[H5321] and they came up[H5927] to meet[H7125] them.

36. And Gideon[H1439] said[H559] unto[H413] God,[H430] If[H518] thou[H3426] wilt save[H3467] [H853] Israel[H3478] by mine hand,[H3027] as[H834] thou hast said,[H1696]

37. Behold,[H2009] I[H595] will put[H3322] [H853] a fleece[H1492] of wool[H6785] in the floor;[H1637] and if[H518] the dew[H2919] be[H1961] on[H5921] the fleece[H1492] only,[H905] and it be dry[H2721] upon[H5921] all[H3605] the earth[H776] beside, then shall I know[H3045] that[H3588] thou wilt save[H3467] [H853] Israel[H3478] by mine hand,[H3027] as[H834] thou hast said.[H1696]

38. And it was[H1961] so:[H3651] for he rose up early[H7925] on the morrow,[H4480] [H4283] and thrust[H2115] [H853] the fleece[H1492] together,[H2115] and wrung[H4680] the dew[H2919] out of[H4480] the fleece,[H1492] a bowl[H5602] full[H4392] of water.[H4325]

39. And Gideon[H1439] said[H559] unto[H413] God,[H430] Let not[H408] thine anger[H639] be hot[H2734] against me and I will speak[H1696] but[H389] this once:[H6471] let me prove,[H5254] I pray thee,[H4994] but[H7535] this once[H6471] with the fleece;[H1492] let it now[H4994] be[H1961] dry[H2721] only[H905] upon[H413] the fleece,[H1492] and upon[H5921] all[H3605] the ground[H776] let there be[H1961] dew.[H2919]

40. And God[H430] did[H6213] so[H3651] that[H1931] night:[H3915] for it was[H1961] dry[H2721] upon[H413] the fleece[H1492] only,[H905] and there was[H1961] dew[H2919] on[H5921] all[H3605] the ground.[H776]
