And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah； and smote the host： for the host was secure。
8：12西巴和撒慕拿逃跑。基甸追赶他们，捉住米甸的二王西巴和撒慕拿，惊散全军。
And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled； he pursued after them； and took the two kings of Midian； Zebah and Zalmunna； and disfited all the host。
8：13约阿施的儿子基甸由希列斯坡从阵上回来，
And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up；
8：14捉住疏割的一个少年人，问他，疏割的首领长老是谁。他就将首领长老七十七个人的名字写出来。
And caught a young man of the men of Succoth； and enquired of him： and he described unto him the princes of Succoth； and the elders thereof； even threescore and seventeen men。
8：15基甸到了疏割，对那里的人说，你们从前讥诮我说，西巴和撒慕拿已经在你手里，你使我们将饼给跟随你的疲乏人吗。现在西巴和撒慕拿在这里。
And he came unto the men of Succoth； and said； Behold Zebah and Zalmunna； with whom ye did upbraid me； saying； Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand； that we should give bread unto thy men that are weary？
8：16于是捉住那城内的长老，用野地的荆条和枳棘责打（原文作指教）疏割人。
And he took the elders of the city； and thorns of the wilderness and briers； and with them he taught the men of Succoth。
8：17又拆了毗努伊勒的楼，杀了那城里的人。
And he beat down the tower of Penuel； and slew the men of the city。
8：18基甸问西巴和撒慕拿说，你们在他泊山所杀的人是什么样式。回答说，他们好像你，各人都有王子的样式。
Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna； What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor？ And they answered； As thou art； so were they； each one resembled the children of a king。
8：19基甸说，他们是我同母的弟兄，我指着永生的耶和华起誓，你们从前若存留他们的性命，我如今就不杀你们了。
And he said； They were my brethren； even the sons of my mother： as the LORD liveth； if ye had saved them alive； I would not slay you。
8：20于是对他的长子益帖说，你起来杀他们。但益帖因为是童子，害怕，不敢拔刀。
And he said unto Jether his firstborn； Up； and slay them。 But the youth drew not his sword： for he feared； because he was yet a youth。
8：21西巴和撒慕拿说，你自己起来杀我们吧。因为人如何，力量也是如何。基甸就起来，杀了西巴和撒慕拿，夺获他们骆驼项上戴的月牙圈。
Then Zebah and Zalmunna said； Rise thou； and fall upon us： for as the man is； so is his strength。 And Gideon arose； and slew Zebah and Zalmunna； and took away the ornaments that were on their camels' necks。
8：22以色列人对基甸说，你既救我们脱离米甸人的手，愿你和你的儿孙管理我们。
Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon； Rule thou over us； both thou； and thy son； and thy son's son also： for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian。
8：23基甸说，我不管理你们，我的儿子也不管理你们，惟有耶和华管理你们。
And Gideon said unto them； I will not rule over you； neither shall my son rule over you： the LORD shall rule over you。
8：24基甸又对他们说，我有一件事求你们，请你们各人将所夺的耳环给我。原来仇敌是以实玛利人，都是戴金耳环的。）
And Gideon said unto them； I would desire a request of you； that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey。 （For they had golden earrings； because they were Ishmaelites。）
8：25他们说，我们情愿给你。就铺开一件外衣，各人将所夺的耳环丢在其上。
And they answered； We will willingly give them。 And they spread a garment； and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey。
8：26基甸所要出来的金耳环重一千七百舍客勒金子。此外还有米甸王所戴的月环，耳坠，和所穿的紫色衣服，并骆驼项上的金链子。
And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold； beside ornaments； and collars； and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian； and beside the chains that were about their camels' necks。
8：27基甸以此制造了一个以弗得，设立在本城俄弗拉。后来以色列人拜那以弗得行了邪淫。这就作了基甸和他全家的网罗。
And Gideon made an ephod thereof； and put it in his city； even in Ophrah： and all Israel went thither a whoring after it： which thing became a snare unto Gideon； and to his house。
8：28这样，米甸人被以色列人制伏了，不敢再抬头。基甸还在的日子，国中太平四十年。
Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel； so that they lifted up their heads no more。 And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon。
8：29约阿施的儿子耶路巴力回去，住在自己家里。
And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house。
8：30基甸有七十个亲生的儿子，因为他有许多的妻。
And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten： for he had many wives。
8：31他的妾住在示剑，也给他生了一个儿子。基甸与他起名叫亚比米勒。
And his concubine that was in Shechem； she also bare him a son； whose name he called Abimelech。
8：32约阿施的儿子基甸，年纪老迈而死，葬在亚比以谢族的俄弗拉，在他父亲约阿施的坟墓里。
And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age； and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father； in Ophrah of the Abiezrites。
8：33基甸死后，以色列人又去随从诸巴力行邪淫，以巴力比利土为他们的神。
And it came to pass； as soon as Gideon was dead； that the children of Israel turned again； and went a whoring after Baalim； and made Baalberith their god。
8：34以色列人不记念耶和华他们的神，就是拯救他们脱离四围仇敌之手的，
And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God； who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side：
8：35也不照着耶路巴力，就是基甸向他们所施的恩惠厚待他的家。
Neither shewed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal； namely； Gideon； according to all the goodness which he had shewed unto Israel。
旧约 士师记（Judges） 第 9 章 （ 本篇共有 21 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
9：1耶路巴力的儿子亚比米勒到了示剑见他的众母舅，对他们和他外祖全家的人说，
And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem unto his mother's brethren； and muned with them； and with all the family of the house of his mother's father； saying；
9：2请你们问示剑的众人说，是耶路巴力的众子七十人都管理你们好呢。还是一人管理你们好呢。你们又要记念我是你们的骨肉。
Speak； I pray you； in the ears of all the men of Shechem； Whether is better for you； either that all the sons of Jerubbaal； which are threescore and ten persons； reign over you； or that one reign over you？ remember also that I am your bone and your flesh。
9：3他的众母舅便将这一切话为他说给示剑人听，示剑人的心就归向亚比米勒。他们说，他原是我们的弟兄。
And his mother's brethren spake of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words： and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech； for they said； He is our brother。
9：4就从巴力比利土的庙中取了七十舍客勒银子给亚比米勒。亚比米勒用以雇了些匪徒跟随他。
And they gave him threescore and ten pieces of silver out of the house of Baalberith； wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons； which followed him。
9：5他往俄弗拉到他父亲的家，将他弟兄，耶路巴力的众子七十人都杀在一块磐石上。只剩下耶路巴力的小儿子约坦，因为他躲藏了。
And he went unto his father's house at Ophrah； and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal； being threescore and ten persons； upon one stone： notwithstanding yet Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left； for he hid himself。
9：6示剑人和米罗人都一同聚集，往示剑橡树旁的柱子那里，立亚比米勒为王。
And all the men of Shechem gathered together； and all the house of Millo； and went； and mad
