THE ARMY OF TRUMPETS AND LAMPS
Judges 7:15:22
15 And it was [so], when Gideon heard the telling of the dream,
and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned
into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath
delivered into your hand the host of Midian. 16 And he divided
the three hundred men [into] three companies, and he put a trumpet
in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the
pitchers. 17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise:
and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be
[that], as I do, so shall ye do. 18 When I blow with a trumpet, I
and all that [are] with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on
every side of all the camp, and say, [The sword] of the LORD, and
of Gideon. 19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that [were] with
him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the
middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew
the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that [were] in their hands.
20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the
pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets
in their right hands to blow [withal]: and they cried, The sword
of the LORD, and of Gideon. 21 And they stood every man in his
place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and
fled. 22 And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD
set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the
host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, [and] to the
border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath._
