He said to him, “Please, Lord, how can I deliver Israel? Look, my family is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the youngest in my father’s family.”

They said to each other, “Who did this? ” After they made a thorough investigation, they said, “Gideon son of Joash did it.”

“Listen to what they say, and then you will be encouraged to attack the camp.” So he went down with Purah his servant to the outpost of the troops[fn] who were in the camp.

So he said to them, “What have I done now compared to you? Is not the gleaning of Ephraim better than the grape harvest of Abiezer?

“While Israel lived three hundred years in Heshbon and Aroer and their surrounding villages, and in all the cities that are on the banks of the Arnon, why didn’t you take them back at that time?

“When I saw that you weren’t going to deliver me, I took my life in my own hands and crossed over to the Ammonites, and the LORD handed them over to me. Why then have you come today to fight against me? ”

“Why do you ask my name,” the angel of the LORD asked him, “since it is beyond understanding?”

So the men of Judah said, “Why have you attacked us? ”

They replied, “We have come to tie Samson up and pay him back for what he did to us.”

He told her, “If you weave the seven braids on my head into the fabric on a loom ​— ​”[fn]

When they entered Micah’s house and took the carved image, the ephod, the household idols, and the silver idol, the priest said to them, “What are you doing? ”

They called to the Danites, who turned to face them, and said to Micah, “What’s the matter with you that you mustered the men? ”

He said, “You took the gods I had made and the priest, and went away. What do I have left? How can you say to me, ‘What’s the matter with you? ’ ”

They set out, went to Bethel, and inquired of God. The Israelites asked, “Who is to go first to fight for us against the Benjaminites? ”

And the LORD answered, “Judah will be first.”

The Israelites asked, “Who of all the tribes of Israel didn’t come to the LORD with the assembly? ” For a great oath had been taken that anyone who had not come to the LORD at Mizpah would certainly be put to death.

“What should we do about wives for the survivors? We’ve sworn to the LORD not to give them any of our daughters as wives.”

They asked, “Which city among the tribes of Israel didn’t come to the LORD at Mizpah? ” It turned out that no one from Jabesh-gilead had come to the camp and the assembly.

The elders of the congregation said, “What should we do about wives for those who are left, since the women of Benjamin have been destroyed? ”
