Judges 7:6-8
New Catholic Bible

6 There were three hundred men who lapped up water by holding their hands to their face. The rest of the men knelt down to drink their water. 7 The Lord said to Gideon, “I will save you through the three hundred men who lapped up their water. I will deliver the Midianites into your hands. Let everyone else go back home.”[a] 8 So they took the other people’s provisions, and they placed their trumpets in their hands. Gideon sent all the other Israelite men back to their homes, but he kept three hundred men with him.

The army of Midian was camped in the valley below them. Read full chapter
