16 Once Samson went to Gaza and saw a prostitute woman there and came in to her. 2 And report was made to the Gazites, saying "Samson has come in here." So they surrounded him and lay in wait for him all night long in the city gate. And they kept quiet the whole night, saying: "As soon as the morning gets light, we must also kill him." 3 However, Samson kept lying till midnight and grabbed hold of the doors of the city gate and the two side posts and pulled them out along with the bar and put them upon his shoulders and went carrying them up to the top of the mountain that is in front of Hebron. 4 And it came about after that that he fell in love with a woman in the torrent valley of Sorek, and her name was Delilah. 5 And the axis lords of the Philistines proceeded to come up to her and to say to her: "Fool him and see in what his great power is and with what we can prevail over him and with what we are certain to tie him so as to master him; ...

7 Then Jerubbaal, that is to say, Gideon, and all the people who were with him rose early and took up camping at the well of Harod; and the camp of Midian happened to be on the north of him, at the hill of Moreh, in the low plain. 2 Jehovah now said to Gideon: "The people who are with you are too many for me to give Midian into their hand. Perhaps Israel would brag about itself against me, saying, "My hand it was that saved me." 3 And now call out, please, in the hearing of the people, saying, "Who is there afraid and trembling? Let him retire. "So Gideon put them to the proof. With that, twenty-two thousand of the people retired, and there were ten thousand that remained. 4 Still Jehovah said to Gideon: "There are yet too many people. Have them go down to the water that I may put them to the proof for you there. And it must occur that of whomever I say to you,' he is one that will go with you, but every one of who I say to you, ...

14 Deborah now said to Barak: "Get up, for this is the day that Jehovah will certainly give Sisera into you hand. Is it not Jehovah that has gone out before you?" And Barak went descending from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men behind him. 15 And Jehovah begain to throw Sisera and all his war chariots and all the camp into confusion by the edge of the sword before Barak. Finally Sisera got down off the chariot and took to flight on foot. 16 And Barak chased after the war chariots and the camp as far as Harosheth of the nations, so that all the camp of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword. Not as much as one remained. 17 As for Sisera, he fled on foot to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite, for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the household of Heber the Kenite. 18 The Jael came on out to meet Sisera and said to him: "Turn this way, my lord, turn this way to me.

Just one man of you will chase a thousand, because Jehovah your God is the one who is fighting for you, just as he has promised you.

And the city must become a thing devoted to destruction; it with everything that is in it belongs to Jehovah. Only Rahab the prostitute may keep on living, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers whom we sent out.

Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and strong. Do not suffer shock or be terrified, for Jehovah your God is with you wherever you go.

Be courageous and strong. Do not be afraid or suffer a shock before them, because Jehovah your God is the one marching with you. He will neither desert you nor leave you entirely.
