Зевах и Салман
8 Ефраимиты сказали Гедеону:
– Почему ты так обошёлся с нами? Почему ты не позвал нас, когда шёл сражаться с мадианитянами?
И они сильно ругали его. 2 Но он ответил им:
– Что такого я совершил по сравнению с вами? Разве виноград, который добирал Ефраим, не лучше, чем весь урожай моего клана, клана Авиезера? 3 Аллах отдал в ваши руки мадианских вождей Орива и Зива. Что же такого я мог сделать, чтобы сравниться с вами?
Когда он сказал им это, их негодование утихло.
4 Гедеон и триста воинов, которые были с ним, утомились, но продолжали погоню. Они пришли к Иордану и переправились через него. 5 Гедеон сказал жителям Суккота:
– Дайте моим воинам хлеба, они утомлены, а я всё ещё преследую мадианских царей Зеваха и Салмана.
6 Но вельможи Суккота сказали:
– Разве Зевах и Салман уже в твоих руках, чтобы нам давать хлеб твоим воинам?
7 Гедеон ответил:
– За это, когда Вечный отдаст в мои руки Зеваха и Салмана, я растерзаю вашу плоть пустынным терновником и шиповником.
8 Оттуда он поднялся к Пениилу и просил того же, но жители Пениила ответили так же, как и жители Суккота. 9 Тогда он сказал им:
– Когда я вернусь с победой, я разрушу эту башню.
10 А Зевах и Салман были в Каркоре с войском примерно в пятнадцать тысяч воинов – всё, что осталось от войск восточных народов (всего пало сто двадцать тысяч человек, носящих оружие). 11 Гедеон поднялся по караванному пути восточнее Новы и Иогбеги и застал войско врасплох. 12 Зевах и Салман, два мадианских царя, бежали, но он погнался за ними, захватил их и поразил ужасом всё их войско.
13 Когда Гедеон, сын Иоаша, вернулся с битвы при возвышенности Херес, 14 он схватил юношу из Суккота, допросил его, и юноша написал ему имена семидесяти семи вельмож Суккота, городских старейшин. 15 Тогда Гедеон пришёл и сказал жителям Суккота:
– Вот Зевах и Салман, из-за которых вы издевались надо мной, говоря: «Разве Зевах и Салман уже в твоих руках, чтобы нам давать хлеб твоим утомлённым воинам?»
16 Он взял старейшин города и преподал жителям Суккота урок, наказав их пустынным терновником и шиповником. 17 Ещё он разрушил башню Пениила и перебил жителей этого города.
18 После этого он спросил Зеваха и Салмана:
– Каковы были те, кого вы убили на Фаворе?
– Они были как ты, – ответили они, – каждый из них выглядел, как царский сын.
19 Гедеон сказал:
– Это были мои братья, сыновья моей матери. Верно, как и то, что жив Вечный, – если бы вы пощадили их, я сохранил бы вам жизнь.
20 Повернувшись к Иетеру, своему старшему сыну, Гедеон сказал:
– Подойди и убей их!
Но Иетер не вытащил меча, потому что он был ещё мальчик и боялся.
21 Зевах и Салман сказали:
– Подойди и убей нас сам. Каков человек, такова и его сила.
Гедеон подошёл и убил Зеваха и Салмана и забрал украшения в форме полумесяца[a], которые были на шеях их верблюдов.
Ефод Гедеона
22 Исраильтяне сказали Гедеону:
– Правь нами – ты, и твой сын, и твой внук, – ведь ты спас нас от руки мадианитян.
23 Но Гедеон сказал им:
– Я не буду править вами, и мой сын не будет править вами. Править вами будет Вечный.
24 Затем Гедеон сказал им:
– Я прошу у вас одного, пусть каждый из вас даст мне по серьге из своей доли добычи.
(У врагов были золотые серьги, потому что они были исмаильтянами.)
25 Они ответили:
– Охотно.
Они расстелили одежду, и каждый бросил в неё по серьге из своей добычи. 26 Золотые серьги, которые он собрал, весили чуть больше двадцати килограммов[b] (это не считая украшений в виде полумесяца, подвесок и пурпурных одежд, которые носили мадианские цари, и цепочек, которые были на шеях у их верблюдов). 27 Гедеон сделал из золота ефод[c], который оставил в Офре, своём городе. И все исраильтяне стали нарушать верность Аллаху, поклоняясь ефоду, и так он стал западнёй для Гедеона и его семьи.
Смерть Гедеона
28 Мадианитяне смирились перед исраильтянами и больше уже не поднимали головы. Пока был жив Гедеон, земля покоилась в мире сорок лет.
29 Иеруб-Баал, сын Иоаша, вернулся домой. 30 У него было семьдесят сыновей потому, что у него было много жён. 31 Его наложница, которая жила в городе Шехеме, также родила ему сына, которого он назвал Ави-Маликом («мой отец – царь»). 32 Гедеон, сын Иоаша, умер в глубокой старости и был похоронен в гробнице своего отца в Офре, в земле клана авиезеритов.
33 Как только Гедеон умер, исраильтяне опять стали нарушать верность Вечному, поклоняясь статуям Баала. Они поставили своим богом Баал-Берита и 34 забыли о Вечном, своём Боге, Который избавил их от рук окружавших их врагов. 35 Они забыли и о верности семье Иеруб-Баала (он же Гедеон), и о всех благодеяниях, которые он сделал Исраилу.
Footnotes
- 8:21 Археологи нашли на Ближнем Востоке древние украшения в форме полумесяца. Их носили женщины (см. Ис. 3:18) и цари (см. ст. 26), ими наряжали верблюдов. Для многих древних женщин эти изделия служили не только украшением, но и, как они верили под влиянием язычества, приносили им плодовитость. Кроме того, люди носили их как оберег от сглаза, что указывает на недостаток их веры в защиту Аллаха, и поэтому они запрещаются Священным Писанием (см. Нач. 35:4 со сноской).
- 8:26 Букв.: «тысяча семьсот шекелей».
- 8:27 Ефод – иногда это своего рода передник, бывший частью облачения священнослужителя при исполнении им его обязанностей (см. Исх. 28:6-30), а иногда объект языческого культа, связанный с идолами (см. также 17:5; 18:14, 17).

Zebah and Zalmunna
8 Now the Ephraimites asked Gideon,(A) “Why have you treated us like this? Why didn’t you call us when you went to fight Midian?(B)”(C) And they challenged him vigorously.(D)
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?(E) 3 God gave Oreb and Zeeb,(F) 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(G) and crossed it. 5 He said to the men of Sukkoth,(H) “Give my troops some bread; they are worn out,(I) and I am still pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna,(J) the kings of Midian.”
6 But the officials of Sukkoth(K) said, “Do you already have the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna in your possession? Why should we give bread(L) to your troops?”(M)
7 Then Gideon replied, “Just for that, when the Lord has given Zebah and Zalmunna(N) into my hand, I will tear your flesh with desert thorns and briers.”
8 From there he went up to Peniel[a](O) and made the same request of them, but they answered as the men of Sukkoth had. 9 So he said to the men of Peniel, “When I return in triumph, I will tear down this tower.”(P)
10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor with a force of about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of the armies of the eastern peoples; a hundred and twenty thousand swordsmen had fallen.(Q) 11 Gideon went up by the route of the nomads east of Nobah(R) and Jogbehah(S) and attacked the unsuspecting army. 12 Zebah and Zalmunna, the two kings of Midian, fled, but he pursued them and captured them, routing their entire army.
13 Gideon son of Joash(T) then returned from the battle by the Pass of Heres.(U) 14 He caught a young man of Sukkoth and questioned him, and the young man wrote down for him the names of the seventy-seven officials of Sukkoth,(V) the elders(W) of the town. 15 Then Gideon came and said to the men of Sukkoth, “Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you taunted me by saying, ‘Do you already have the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna in your possession? Why should we give bread to your exhausted men?(X)’” 16 He took the elders of the town and taught the men of Sukkoth a lesson(Y) by punishing them with desert thorns and briers. 17 He also pulled down the tower of Peniel(Z) and killed the men of the town.(AA)
18 Then he asked Zebah and Zalmunna, “What kind of men did you kill at Tabor?(AB)”
“Men like you,” they answered, “each one with the bearing of a prince.”
19 Gideon replied, “Those were my brothers, the sons of my own mother. As surely as the Lord lives,(AC) if you had spared their lives, I would not kill you.” 20 Turning to Jether, his oldest son, he said, “Kill them!” But Jether did not draw his sword, because he was only a boy and was afraid.
21 Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Come, do it yourself. ‘As is the man, so is his strength.’” So Gideon stepped forward and killed them, and took the ornaments(AD) off their camels’ necks.
Gideon’s Ephod
22 The Israelites said to Gideon, “Rule over us—you, your son and your grandson—because you have saved us from the hand of Midian.”
23 But Gideon told them, “I will not rule over you, nor will my son rule over you. The Lord will rule(AE) over you.” 24 And he said, “I do have one request, that each of you give me an earring(AF) from your share of the plunder.(AG)” (It was the custom of the Ishmaelites(AH) to wear gold earrings.)
25 They answered, “We’ll be glad to give them.” So they spread out a garment, and each of them threw a ring from his plunder onto it. 26 The weight of the gold rings he asked for came to seventeen hundred shekels,[b] not counting the ornaments, the pendants and the purple garments worn by the kings of Midian or the chains(AI) that were on their camels’ necks. 27 Gideon made the gold into an ephod,(AJ) which he placed in Ophrah,(AK) his town. All Israel prostituted themselves by worshiping it there, and it became a snare(AL) to Gideon and his family.(AM)
Gideon’s Death
28 Thus Midian was subdued before the Israelites and did not raise its head(AN) again. During Gideon’s lifetime, the land had peace(AO) forty years.
29 Jerub-Baal(AP) son of Joash(AQ) went back home to live. 30 He had seventy sons(AR) of his own, for he had many wives. 31 His concubine,(AS) who lived in Shechem, also bore him a son, whom he named Abimelek.(AT) 32 Gideon son of Joash died at a good old age(AU) and was buried in the tomb of his father Joash in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
33 No sooner had Gideon died than the Israelites again prostituted themselves to the Baals.(AV) They set up Baal-Berith(AW) as their god(AX) 34 and did not remember(AY) the Lord their God, who had rescued them from the hands of all their enemies on every side. 35 They also failed to show any loyalty to the family of Jerub-Baal(AZ) (that is, Gideon) in spite of all the good things he had done for them.(BA)

King James Version
8 And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they did chide with him sharply.
2 And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
3 God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.
4 And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.
5 And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.
6 And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?
7 And Gideon said, Therefore when the Lord hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.
8 And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.
9 And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.
10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the hosts of the children of the east: for there fell an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.
11 And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host; for the host was secure.
12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host.
13 And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,
14 And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and enquired of him: and he described unto him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, even threescore and seventeen men.
15 And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye did upbraid me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thy men that are weary?
16 And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.
17 And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.
18 Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king.
19 And he said, They were my brethren, even the sons of my mother: as the Lord liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you.
20 And he said unto Jether his firstborn, Up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth.
21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that were on their camels' necks.
22 Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian.
23 And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the Lord shall rule over you.
24 And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey. (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)
25 And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey.
26 And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that were about their camels' necks.
27 And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither a whoring after it: which thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house.
28 Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon.
29 And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
30 And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.
31 And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.
32 And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
33 And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baalberith their god.
34 And the children of Israel remembered not the Lord their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side:
35 Neither shewed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shewed unto Israel.

Chapter 8
Gideon’s Second Campaign. 1 The Ephraimites said to him, “Why have you treated us this way? Why did you not summon us when you went out to fight against the Midianites?” And they rebuked him severely. 2 He answered them, “What have I ever done that could be compared to what you have done? Are not the gleanings of the grapes in Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer? 3 God delivered Oreb and Zeeb, the princes of Midian, into your hands. What was I able to do compared with what you did?” Their anger against him calmed down when he said that.
4 Gideon and the three hundred men with him came to and crossed over the Jordan, exhausted, but still in pursuit. 5 He said to the men of Succoth, “Give some bread to the men who are with me, for they are weary, and I am chasing after Zebah and Zal-munna, the kings of Midian.” 6 The princes of Succoth asked, “Do you already have the hands[a] of Zebah and Zalmunna in your possession? Why should we give bread to your soldiers?” 7 Gideon answered, “For this, when the Lord has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hands, I will tear at your flesh with desert thorns and briars.”
8 He went up to Penuel and said the same thing to them. The men of Penuel answered him the same way that the men of Succoth had, 9 so he said to the men of Penuel, “When I come back again in peace, I will tear down this tower.”
10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and they had their armies with them, fifteen thousand men. These were all that were left from the armies of the easterners, for some one hundred and twenty thousand swordsmen had fallen. 11 Gideon went up by the nomad route to the east of Nobah and Jogbehah and he fell upon the unsuspecting army. 12 Zebah and Zalmunna fled away, and he chased after the two kings of Midian and captured them. Zebah, Zalmunna and their entire army were routed.
13 Gideon, the son of Joash, then returned from the battle by the Pass of Heres. 14 He captured a young man from Succoth and questioned him. He wrote down the names of the seventy-seven princes and elders of Succoth for him. 15 He came to the men of Succoth and said, “Look at Zebah and Zalmunna, the ones about whom you taunted me when you said, ‘Are Zebah and Zalmunna in your hands now that we should give bread to your weary men?’ ” 16 He picked out the elders of the city, and he taught the men of Succoth a lesson with desert thorns and briars. 17 He also smashed down the tower of Penuel and he killed the men of the city.
18 Then he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, “Where are the men whom you killed at Tabor?” They replied, “Each one of them looked like you, like the son of a king.” 19 He said, “They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. I swear to God, if you had spared them, I would not kill you.”
20 Then he said to Jether,[b] his firstborn, “Stand up, kill them.” But the young man did not draw his sword because he was afraid; he was still quite young. 21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Get up yourself and fall upon us! It takes the courage of a man.” So Gideon stood up and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and he took the ornaments off the necks of their camels.
22 The Israelites said to Gideon, “Rule over us, you, and your son, and your grandson, for you have delivered us out of the hands of Midian.” 23 But Gideon said to them, “Neither I nor my son will rule over you. The Lord will rule over you!”
24 Gideon continued, “I do have one request to make of you. Let each man give me an earring from his share of the plunder.” (They had gold earrings, for they were Ishmaelites.)[c] 25 They answered, “We would be glad to give them to you.” They spread out a garment, and each man threw his earrings from the plunder onto it. 26 The weight of the golden earnings he had asked for was one thousand, seven hundred golden shekels, not counting the ornaments, the necklaces, the purple garments that had been worn by the kings of Midian, and the chains that had been on the necks of their camels.
27 Gideon had the gold made into an ephod[d] which he placed in Ophrah, his hometown. All of Israel prostituted itself by worshiping it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his household. 28 This is how Midian was subjected to the Israelites, so that they did not lift up their heads again. During Gideon’s lifetime there was peace in the land, for forty years.
29 Abimelech, Son of Gideon. Jerubbaal went to his home and lived there. 30 Gideon had seventy sons of his own, for he had many wives. 31 His concubine[e] who lived in Shechem also had a son who was called Abimelech. 32 Gideon, the son of Joash, lived to a good old age, and he was buried in the tomb of his father Joash in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
33 As soon as Gideon died, the Israelites turned again and prostituted themselves after the Baals. They set up Baal-berith[f] as their god 34 and the Israelites forgot that the Lord, their God, had delivered them out of the hands of their enemies who surrounded them. 35 They also failed to respect the family of Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) for all of the good things that he had done for Israel.
