Judges 7:9-11

International Standard Version

Gideon Sneaks Down to the Midianite Encampment

⁹ Later that same night, the Lord directed Gideon,^[a] “Get up and go down to the Midianite^[b] encampment, because I’ve given it into your control. ¹⁰ But if you’re afraid to go down there, you may take your servant Purah with you to their encampment, ¹¹ where you will hear what they’re talking about. That way, you’ll be encouraged to attack the encampment.” So he and his servant Purah went down to the perimeter outposts of the encamped army.
