Chapter 8

1And the men of Efraim said to him, “Why did you do that to us—not calling us when you went to fight the Midianites?” And they rebuked him severely.

2But he answered them, “After all, what have I accomplished compared to you? Why, Efraim's gleanings are better than Abiezer's vintage!

3Hashem has delivered the Midianite generals Oreb and Zeeb into your hands, and what was I able to do compared to you?” And when he spoke in this fashion, their anger against him abated.

4Gidon came to the Yarden and crossed it. The three hundred men with him were famished, but still in pursuit.

5He said to the people of Succoth, “Please give some loaves of bread to the men who are following me, for they are famished, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.”

7“I swear,” declared Gidon, “when Hashem delivers Zebah and Zalmunna into my hands, I'll thresh your bodies upon desert thorns and briers!”

8From there he went up to Penuel and made the same request of them; but the people of Penuel gave him the same reply as the people of Succoth.

10Now Zebah and Zalmunna were at Karkor with their army of about 15,000; these were all that remained of the entire host of the Kedemites, for the slain numbered 120,000 fighting men.

11Gidon marched up the road of the tent dwellers, up to east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and routed the camp, which was off guard.

12Zebah and Zalmunna took to flight, with Gidon in pursuit. He captured Zebah and Zalmunna, the two kings of Midian, and threw the whole army into panic.

15Then he came to the people of Succoth and said, “Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you mocked me, saying, ‘Are Zebah and Zalmunna already in your hands, that we should give your famished men bread?'”

16And he took the elders of the city and, [bringing] desert thorns and briers, he punished the people of Succoth with them.

17As for Penuel, he tore down its tower and killed the townspeople.

18Then he asked Zebah and Zalmunna, “Those men you killed at Tavor, what were they like?” “They looked just like you,” they replied, “like sons of a king.”

19“They were my brothers,” he declared, “the sons of my mother. As Hashem lives, if you had spared them, I would not kill you.”

20And he commanded his oldest son Jether, “Go kill them!” But the boy did not draw his sword, for he was timid, being still a boy.

21Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Come, you slay us; for strength comes with manhood.” So Gidon went over and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and he took the crescents that were on the necks of their camels.

23But Gidon replied, “I will not rule over you myself, nor shall my son rule over you; Hashem alone shall rule over you.”

24And Gidon said to them, “I have a request to make of you: Each of you give me the earring he received as booty.” (They had golden earrings, for they were Ishmaelites.)

25“Certainly!” they replied. And they spread out a cloth, and everyone threw onto it the earring he had received as booty.

26The weight of the golden earrings that he had requested came to 1,700 shekalim of gold; this was in addition to the crescents and the pendants and the purple robes worn by the kings of Midian and in addition to the collars on the necks of their camels.

27Gidon made an ephod of this gold and set it up in his own town of Ophrah. There all Yisrael went astray after it, and it became a snare to Gidon and his household.

28Thus Midian submitted to the Israelites and did not raise its head again; and the land was tranquil for forty years in Gidon's time.
