Empezaron a gritar: “¡La espada de Jehová y de Gedeón!” (Jue. 7:20).
A unos quince kilómetros (diez millas) de Meguidó, cruzando el valle, se encuentra la colina de Moré. En los días del juez Gedeón, una coalición de tropas madianitas, amalequitas y orientales se reunieron allí para la guerra (Jue. 7:1, 12). La pequeña tropa de Gedeón contaba solo con 300 hombres, pero con la ayuda de Jehová, consiguieron derrotar al gran ejército enemigo. ¿Cómo? De acuerdo con las instrucciones divinas, rodearon el campamento contrario de noche, llevando consigo jarrones que ocultaban antorchas encendidas. Cuando Gedeón dio la señal, sus hombres hicieron añicos los jarrones y aparecieron las antorchas. Al mismo tiempo, hicieron sonar sus cuernos y gritaron: “¡La espada de Jehová y de Gedeón!”. Aquello provocó confusión entre sus enemigos, y estos empezaron a matarse entre sí. Los que sobrevivieron cruzaron el río Jordán para escapar. Entretanto, más israelitas se sumaron a la persecución de los escapados. En total, cayeron 120.000 soldados enemigos (Jue. 7:19-25; 8:10).

They began calling out: “Jehovah’s sword and Gideon’s!”—Judg. 7:20.
About ten miles across the valley from Megiddo lies the hill of Moreh where in the days of Judge Gideon, the combined troops of Midianites, Amalekites, and Easterners gathered to wage war. (Judg. 7:1, 12) Gideon’s small force finally numbered only 300 men, but with Jehovah’s help, they routed the large enemy force. How? Following God’s direction, they surrounded the enemy camp at night holding jars that concealed flaming torches. When Gideon gave the signal, his men smashed the jars and the hidden torches were suddenly revealed. At the same time, they blew their horns and shouted: “Jehovah’s sword and Gideon’s!” The enemy were thrown into confusion, and they turned to killing one another; survivors fled across the Jordan River. Meanwhile, more Israelites joined in pursuit of the enemy. Altogether, 120,000 enemy soldiers were slaughtered.—Judg. 7:19-25; 8:10.

Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
