your enemies shall fall by the sword before you.

30 How could one chase a thousand,
And two put ten thousand to flight,
Unless their Rock (A)had sold them,
And the Lord had surrendered them?

19 So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outpost of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just as they had posted the watch; and they blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers that were in their hands. 20 Then the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers—they held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands for blowing—and they cried, “The sword of the Lord and of Gideon!” 21 And (A)every man stood in his place all around the camp; (B)and the whole army ran and cried out and fled.

  1. Numbers 14:9 They shall be as food for our consumption.

Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come, let us go over to the garrison of these (A)uncircumcised; it may be that the Lord will work for us. For nothing restrains the Lord (B)from saving by many or by few.”

So his armorbearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Go then; here I am with you, according to your heart.”

Then Jonathan said, “Very well, let us cross over to these men, and we will show ourselves to them. If they say thus to us, ‘Wait until we come to you,’ then we will stand still in our place and not go up to them. 10 But if they say thus, ‘Come up to us,’ then we will go up. For the Lord has delivered them into our hand, and (C)this will be a sign to us.”

11 So both of them showed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines. And the Philistines said, “Look, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have (D)hidden.” 12 Then the men of the garrison called to Jonathan and his armorbearer, and said, “Come up to us, and we will [a]show you something.”

Jonathan said to his armorbearer, “Come up after me, for the Lord has delivered them into the hand of Israel.” 13 And Jonathan climbed up on his hands and knees with his armorbearer after him; and they (E)fell before Jonathan. And as he came after him, his armorbearer killed them. 14 That first slaughter which Jonathan and his armorbearer made was about twenty men within about [b]half an acre of land.

15 And (F)there was [c]trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. The garrison and (G)the raiders also trembled; and the earth quaked, so that it was (H)a very great trembling. 16 Now the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and there was the multitude, melting away; and they (I)went here and there.

  1. Psalm 81:15 Lit. time

45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. (A)But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have (B)defied. 46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give (C)the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, (D)that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 47 Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord (E)does not save with sword and spear; for (F)the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.”

48 So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and (G)ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 49 Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth. 50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a (H)sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David. 51 Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his (I)sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it.

And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, (J)they fled. 52 Now the men of Israel and Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as the entrance of [a]the valley and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell along the road to (K)Shaaraim, even as far as Gath and Ekron.
