καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Γεδεων καὶ ἑκατὸν ἄνδρες μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἐν μέρει τῆς παρεμβολῆς ἀρχομένης τῆς φυλακῆς τῆς μεσούσης· πλὴν ἐγέρσει ἤγειρεν τοὺς φυλάσσοντας, καὶ ἐσάλπισαν ταῖς κερατίναις καὶ ἐξετίναξαν τὰς ὑδρίας τὰς ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῶν. καὶ ἐσάλπισαν αἱ τρεῖς ἀρχαὶ ἐν ταῖς κερατίναις καὶ συνέτριψαν τὰς ὑδρίας καὶ ἐλάβοντο ἐν τῇ χειρὶ τῇ ἀριστερᾷ αὐτῶν τῶν λαμπάδων, καὶ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτῶν αἱ κερατίναι τοῦ σαλπίζειν, καὶ ἀνέκραξαν Ῥομφαία τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ τῷ Γεδεων. καὶ ἔστησαν ἕκαστος καθ’ ἑαυτὸν κύκλῳ τῆς παρεμβολῆς, καὶ ἔδραμον πᾶσα ἡ παρεμβολὴ καὶ ἐσήμαναν καὶ ἔφυγον. καὶ ἐσάλπισαν αἱ τριακόσιαι κερατίναι, καὶ ἔθετο κύριος μάχαιραν ἀνδρὸς ἐν τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ παρεμβολῇ, καὶ ἔφυγεν ἡ παρεμβολὴ ἕως τῆς Βαιθασεττα καὶ συνηγμένη ἕως χείλους Αβελμεουλα καὶ ἐπὶ Ταβαθ. καὶ ἐβόησεν ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ ἐκ Νεφθαλιμ καὶ ἐξ Ασηρ καὶ ἐκ παντὸς Μανασση καὶ κατεδίωξαν ὀπίσω Μαδιαμ. Καὶ ἀγγέλους ἐξαπέστειλεν Γεδεων ἐν παντὶ ὁρίῳ Εφραιμ λέγων Κατάβητε εἰς συνάντησιν Μαδιαμ καὶ καταλάβετε ἑαυτοῖς τὸ ὕδωρ ἕως Βαιθβηρα καὶ τὸν Ιορδάνην· καὶ ἐβόησεν πᾶς ἀνὴρ Εφραιμ καὶ προκατελάβοντο τὸ ὕδωρ ἕως Βαιθβηρα καὶ τὸν Ιορδάνην. καὶ συνέλαβον τοὺς δύο ἄρχοντας Μαδιαμ, τὸν Ωρηβ καὶ τὸν Ζηβ, καὶ ἀπέκτειναν τὸν Ωρηβ ἐν Σουριν καὶ τὸν Ζηβ ἀπέκτειναν ἐν Ιακεφζηβ καὶ κατεδίωξαν Μαδιαμ· καὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν Ωρηβ καὶ Ζηβ ἤνεγκαν πρὸς Γεδεων ἐκ τοῦ πέραν τοῦ Ιορδάνου.
