Judges 7:21-25 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

21. Gideon’s men stayed where they were. But inside the camp, the men of Midian began shouting and running away.

22. When Gideon’s 300 men blew their trumpets, the Lord caused the men of Midian to kill each other with their swords. The enemy army ran away to the city of Beth Shittah, which is toward the city of Zererah. They ran as far as the border of the city of Abel Meholah, which is near the city of Tabbath.

23. Then soldiers from the tribes of Naphtali, Asher, and all of Manasseh were told to chase the Midianites.

24. Gideon sent messengers through all the hill country of Ephraim. The messengers said, “Come down and attack the Midianites. Take control of the river as far as Beth Barah and the Jordan River. Do this before the Midianites get there.” So they called all men from the tribe of Ephraim. They took control of the river as far as Beth Barah.

25. The men of Ephraim caught two of the Midianite leaders named Oreb and Zeeb. They killed Oreb at a place named the Rock of Oreb and Zeeb at a place named the Winepress of Zeeb. They continued chasing the Midianites, but first they cut off the heads of Oreb and Zeeb and took the heads to Gideon. Gideon was at the place where people cross the Jordan River.
