23 Israeli soldiers were called out from the territories of[a] Naphtali, Asher, and throughout Manasseh, and they chased after the Midianites.

24 Gideon dispatched messengers throughout the mountainous region[b] of Ephraim, notifying them, “Come down to fight Midian. Capture the water crossings[c] as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan River before they can get to them.” 25 They captured two Midianite leaders, Oreb and Zeeb. While they were pursuing the Midianites, they executed Oreb at Oreb’s Rock and Zeeb at Zeeb’s Winepress, and then they carried the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon from the east bank[d] of the Jordan River.
