14 His friend replied, "Can this be anything other than the sword of the Israelite Gideon, Joash’s son? God has handed over Midian and its entire camp to him!"
15 When Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its meaning, he worshipped. Then he returned to the Israelite camp and said, "Get up! The Lord has handed over the Midianite camp to you."
16 He divided the three hundred men into three units and equipped every man with a trumpet and an empty jar, with a torch inside each jar.
17 "Now watch me," he ordered them, "and do what I do. When I get to the outpost of the camp, do just what I do.
18 When I blow the trumpet, along with all who are with me, then you blow the trumpets, all of you surrounding the whole camp. And then shout, ‘For the Lord and for Gideon!’"
19 Gideon and one hundred of his men moved to the outpost of the camp at the middle watch of the night, when they had just changed the guards. Then they blew the trumpets and smashed the jars that were in their hands.
20 So the three units blew their trumpets and broke their jars, holding the torches with their left hands and blowing the trumpets in their right hands. And they called out, "A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!"
