- 以法蓮人對基甸說、你去與米甸人爭戰、沒有招我們同去、為甚麼這樣待我們呢.他們就與基甸大大地爭吵。
- 基甸對他們說、我所行的豈能比你們所行的呢.以法蓮拾取剩下的葡萄、不強過亞比以謝所摘的葡萄麼。
- 神已將米甸人的兩個首領、俄立和西伊伯、交在你們手中.我所行的、豈能比你們所行的呢.基甸說了這話、以法蓮人的怒氣就消了。
- 基甸和跟隨他的三百人、到約但河過渡、雖然疲乏、還是追趕。
- 基甸對疏割人說、求你們拿餅來給跟隨我的人喫.因為他們疲乏了、我們追趕米甸人的兩個王西巴和撒慕拿。

- And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they did chide with him sharply.
- And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
- God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.
- And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.
- And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.
