Judges 8:2-4
New International Version
2 But he answered them, “What have I accomplished compared to you? Aren’t the gleanings of Ephraim’s grapes better than the full grape harvest of Abiezer?(A) 3 God gave Oreb and Zeeb,(B) the Midianite leaders, into your hands. What was I able to do compared to you?” At this, their resentment against him subsided.
4 Gideon and his three hundred men, exhausted yet keeping up the pursuit, came to the Jordan(C) and crossed it.

And what was I able to do in comparison with you?” Then their (C)anger toward him subsided when he said that.
4 When Gideon came (D)to the Jordan, he and (E)the three hundred men who were with him crossed over, exhausted but still in pursuit.
