Genesis 14:14-16
14When Abram heard that his kinsman had been taken captive, he led forth his trained men, aborn in his house, 318 of them, and went in pursuit as far as bDan. 15And he divided his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and defeated them and pursued them to Hobah, north of Damascus. 16Then he brought back all the possessions, and also brought back his kinsman Lot cwith his possessions, and the women and the people.Judges 7:16-20
16And he divided the 300 men into three companies and put trumpets into the hands of all of them and empty jars, with dtorches inside the jars. 17And he said to them, “Look at me, and do likewise. When I come to the outskirts of the camp, do as I do. 18When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp and shout, e‘For the Lord and for Gideon.’”Gideon Defeats Midian
19So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, when they had just set the watch. And they blew the trumpets and smashed the jars that were in their hands. 20Then the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the jars. They held in their left hands the torches, and in their right hands the trumpets to blow. fAnd they cried out, “A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!”1 Samuel 17:50
50So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. There was no sword in the hand of David.1 Corinthians 1:27-29
27But gGod chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; hGod chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28God chose what is low and despised in the world, even ithings that are not, to jbring to nothing things that are, 29so kthat no human being ▼▼Greek no flesh
might boast in the presence of God.
