So the people took food in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the men of Israel every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men: and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
And God said, [Now with these three hundred] will I deliver the Midianites into your hand. And so the Lord said to Gideon, If you're afraid to go down; then take your servant and you slip down tonight to the host of the Midianites and you just listen ( Judges 7:9-11 )
