8:1 And the men 376 of Ephraim 669 said 5598799 unto him, Why hast thou 4100 served 62138804 us thus 1697, that thou calledst 71218800 us not, when thou wentest 19808804 to fight 38988736 with the Midianites 4080? And they did chide 73788799 with him sharply 2394.(Why…: Heb. What thing is this thou hast done unto us)(sharply: Heb. strongly)
8:2 And he said 5598799 unto them, What have I done 62138804 now in comparison of you? [Is] not the gleaning 5955 of the grapes of Ephraim 669 better 2896 than the vintage 1210 of Abiezer 44?
8:3 God 430 hath delivered 54148804 into your hands 3027 the princes 8269 of Midian 4080, Oreb 6159 and Zeeb 2062: and what was I able 32018804 to do 62138800 in comparison of you? Then their anger 7307 was abated 75038804 toward him, when he had said 1697 that 16968763.(anger: Heb. spirit)
8:4 And Gideon 1439 came 9358799 to Jordan 3383, [and] passed over 56748802, he, and the three 7969 hundred 3967 men 376 that [were] with him, faint 5889, yet pursuing 72918802 [them].
8:6 And the princes 8269 of Succoth 5523 said 5598799, [Are] the hands 3709 of Zebah 2078 and Zalmunna 6759 now in thine hand 3027, that we should give 54148799 bread 3899 unto thine army 6635?
8:7 And Gideon 1439 said 5598799, Therefore when the LORD 3068 hath delivered 54148800 Zebah 2078 and Zalmunna 6759 into mine hand 3027, then I will tear 17588804 your flesh 1320 with the thorns 6975 of the wilderness 4057 and with briers 1303.(tear: Heb. thresh)
8:10 Now Zebah 2078 and Zalmunna 6759 [were] in Karkor 7174, and their hosts 4264 with them, about fifteen 25686240 thousand 505 [men], all that were left 34988737 of all the hosts 4264 of the children 1121 of the east 6924: for there fell 53078802 an hundred 3967 and twenty 6242 thousand 505 men 376 that drew 80258802 sword 2719.(men that…: or, every one drawing a sword)
8:14 And caught 39208799 a young man 5288 of the men 582 of Succoth 5523, and enquired 75928799 of him: and he described 37898799 unto him the princes 8269 of Succoth 5523, and the elders 2205 thereof, [even] threescore and seventeen 76577651 men 376.(described: Heb. writ)
8:15 And he came 9358799 unto the men 582 of Succoth 5523, and said 5598799, Behold Zebah 2078 and Zalmunna 6759, with whom ye did upbraid 27788765 me, saying 5598800, [Are] the hands 3709 of Zebah 2078 and Zalmunna 6759 now in thine hand 3027, that we should give 54148799 bread 3899 unto thy men 582 [that are] weary 3287?
8:16 And he took 39478799 the elders 2205 of the city 5892, and thorns 6975 of the wilderness 4057 and briers 1303, and with them he taught 30458686 the men 582 of Succoth 5523.(taught: Heb. made to know)
8:18 Then said 5598799 he unto Zebah 2078 and Zalmunna 6759, What 375 manner of men 582 [were they] whom ye slew 20268804 at Tabor 8396? And they answered 5598799, As thou 3644 [art], so [were] they; each one 259 resembled 8389 the children 1121 of a king 4428.(resembled…: Heb. according to the form, etc)
8:19 And he said 5598799, They [were] my brethren 251, [even] the sons 1121 of my mother 517: [as] the LORD 3068 liveth 2416, if 3863 ye had saved them alive 24218689, I would not slay 20268804 you.
8:21 Then Zebah 2078 and Zalmunna 6759 said 5598799, Rise 69658798 thou, and fall 62938798 upon us: for as the man 376 [is, so is] his strength 1369. And Gideon 1439 arose 69658799, and slew 20268799 Zebah 2078 and Zalmunna 6759, and took away 39478799 the ornaments 7720 that [were] on their camels' 1581 necks 6677.(ornaments: or, ornaments like the moon)
8:22 Then the men 376 of Israel 3478 said 5598799 unto Gideon 1439, Rule 49108798 thou over us, both thou, and thy son 1121, and thy son's 1121 son 1121 also: for thou hast delivered 34678689 us from the hand 3027 of Midian 4080.
8:23 And Gideon 1439 said 5598799 unto them, I will not rule 49108799 over you, neither shall my son 1121 rule 49108799 over you: the LORD 3068 shall rule 49108799 over you.
8:24 And Gideon 1439 said 5598799 unto them, I would desire 75928799 a request 7596 of you, that ye would give 54148798 me every man 376 the earrings 5141 of his prey 7998. (For they had golden 2091 earrings 5141, because they [were] Ishmaelites 3459.)
8:26 And the weight 4948 of the golden 2091 earrings 5141 that he requested 75928804 was a thousand 505 and seven 7651 hundred 3967 [shekels] of gold 2091; beside ornaments 7720, and collars 5188, and purple 713 raiment 899 that [was] on the kings 4428 of Midian 4080, and beside the chains 6060 that [were] about their camels' 1581 necks 6677.(collars: or, sweet jewels)
8:27 And Gideon 1439 made 62138799 an ephod 646 thereof, and put 33228686 it in his city 5892, [even] in Ophrah 6084: and all Israel 3478 went thither a whoring 21818799 after 310 it: which thing became a snare 4170 unto Gideon 1439, and to his house 1004.
8:30 And Gideon 1439 had threescore and ten 7657 sons 1121 of his body 3409 begotten 33188802: for he had many 7227 wives 802.(of his…: Heb. going out of his thigh)
8:31 And his concubine 6370 that [was] in Shechem 7927, she also bare 32058804 him a son 1121, whose name 8034 he called 77608799 Abimelech 40.(called: Heb. set)
8:34 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 remembered 21428804 not the LORD 3068 their God 430, who had delivered 53378688 them out of the hands 3027 of all their enemies 3418802 on every side 5439:
8:35 Neither shewed 62138804 they kindness 2617 to the house 1004 of Jerubbaal 3378, [namely], Gideon 1439, according to all the goodness 2896 which he had shewed 62138804 unto Israel 3478.
