Judges 7:21-25 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

21. The enemy soldiers started yelling and tried to run away. Gideon's troops stayed in their positions surrounding the camp

22. and blew their trumpets again. As they did, the Lord made the enemy soldiers pull out their swords and start fighting each other.The enemy army tried to escape from the camp. They ran to Acacia Tree Town, towards Zeredah, and as far as the edge of the land that belonged to the town of Abel-Meholah near Tabbath.

23. Gideon sent word for more Israelite soldiers to come from the tribes of Naphtali, Asher, and both halves of Manasseh to help fight the Midianites.

24. He also sent messengers to tell all the men who lived in the hill country of Ephraim, “Come and help us fight the Midianites! Put guards at every spring, stream, and well, as far as Beth-Barah before the Midianites can get to them. And guard the River Jordan.”Troops from Ephraim did exactly what Gideon had asked,

25. and they even helped chase the Midianites on the east side of the River Jordan. These troops captured Raven and Wolf, the two Midianite leaders. They killed Raven at a large rock that has come to be known as Raven Rock, and they killed Wolf near a wine-pit that has come to be called Wolf Wine-pit.The men of Ephraim brought the heads of the two Midianite leaders to Gideon.
