And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Beth-barah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto Beth-barah and Jordan. And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan. 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 Abi-ezer? 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.-Judges 7:24-8:3***Jacob (Israel) was the youngest fraternal twin son born to Isaac and Rebekah. Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, and Dinah were born to Jacob and his 1st wife Leah. Dan and Naphtali were born to Jacob and maidservant Bilhah. Gad and Asher were born to Jacob and maidservant Zilpah. Joseph and Benjamin were born to Jacob and his 2nd wife Rachel. When Joseph was at least 17 years old, his brothers sold him to merchants traveling to Egypt. The merchants sold Joseph to Potiphar, an Egyptian official. After the false accusation made by Potiphar's wife, Potiphar put Joseph in the king's prison. At least 2 years after Joseph explained the meaning of a dream to both the imprisoned cupbearer and baker who served Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, Joseph explained the meaning of 2 dreams to Pharaoh. Pharaoh proclaimed Joseph to be second-in-command in Egypt. Manasseh and Ephraim were born to Joseph and his wife Asenath. However, Jacob proclaimed Manasseh and Ephraim to be his own sons. Gideon (Jerubbaal) the judge was born into the tribe of Manasseh, and the clan of Abiezer within the tribe. A group of Amalekites were descendants of Jacob's older fraternal twin brother Esau (Edom) and his wife Adah, their son Eliphaz and his concubine Timna, and Eliphaz and Timna's son Amalek. Other Amalekites were born sometime  earlier. The Midianites descended from Isaac's father Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and his 2nd wife Keturah. Before Gideon went to battle the Midianites, Amalekites and the people of the east, Gideon called for help from the tribes of Manasseh, Naphtali, Asher and Zebulun. Gideon did not call for help from the tribe of Ephraim until he wanted the Ephraimites to be on guard at the fords and passable places of the Jordan River. The Ephraimites successfully blocked the watercourses and captured and killed 2 prominent Midianites. Samuel, the priest and prophet from the tribe of Levi, was the last judge to lead the Israelites. Over 1,000 years after Samuel anointed Saul, and Saul became the 1st king to rule over the Israelites in the Promised Land, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 26:28-37, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 17:1-18, 23:1-24:33, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 1 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
