Judges 7:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ There were three hundred men who used their hands to bring water to their mouths, ·lapping it as a dog does [^Llapping]. All the rest ·got down on their knees [kneeled] to drink.

⁷ Then the Lord said to Gideon, “Using the three hundred men who lapped the water, I will save you and ·hand Midian over to you [^Lgive the Midianites into your hand]. Let all the others go home.” ⁸ So Gideon sent the rest of Israel ·to their homes [^Leach to his tent]. But he kept three hundred men and took the ·jars [provisions] and the trumpets of those who left.

Now the camp of Midian was in the valley below Gideon.
