For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.

For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Then he answered and spoke to me, saying,“ This is Yahweh’s word to Zerubbabel, saying,‘ Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says Yahweh of Armies.Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of‘ Grace, grace, to it!’”

Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!“ For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”“ Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”For of him, and through him, and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that don’t exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist,that no flesh should boast before God.

Yahweh also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of David’s house and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah.In that day Yahweh will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and David’s house will be like God, like Yahweh’s angel before them.

Yahweh said to Gideon,“ The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel brag against me, saying,‘ My own hand has saved me.’Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying,‘ Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.’” So twenty- two thousand of the people returned, and ten thousand remained.Yahweh said to Gideon,“ There are still too many people. Bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. It shall be, that those whom I tell you,‘ This shall go with you,’ shall go with you; and whoever I tell you,‘ This shall not go with you,’ shall not go.”So he brought down the people to the water; and Yahweh said to Gideon,“ Everyone who laps of the water with his tongue, like a dog laps, you shall set him by himself; likewise everyone who bows down on his knees to drink.”The number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people bowed down on their knees to drink water.Yahweh said to Gideon,“ I will save you by the three hundred men who lapped, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go, each to his own place.”So the people took food in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the rest of the men of Israel to their own tents, but retained the three hundred men; and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.

He took his staff in his hand, and chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag which he had. His sling was in his hand; and he came near to the Philistine.The Philistine walked and came near to David; and the man who bore the shield went before him.When the Philistine looked around, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and had a good looking face.The Philistine said to David,“ Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” The Philistine cursed David by his gods.The Philistine said to David,“ Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky, and to the animals of the field.”Then David said to the Philistine,“ You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin; but I come to you in the name of Yahweh of Armies, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.Today, Yahweh will deliver you into my hand. I will strike you, and take your head from off you. I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines today to the birds of the sky, and to the wild animals of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,and that all this assembly may know that Yahweh doesn’t save with sword and spear; for the battle is Yahweh’s, and he will give you into our hand.”When the Philistine arose, and walked and came near to meet David, David hurried, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.David put his hand in his bag, took a stone, and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.Then David ran, stood over the Philistine, took his sword, drew it out of its sheath, killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.

Ahab said,“ By whom?” He said,“ Yahweh says,‘ By the young men of the princes of the provinces.’” Then he said,“ Who shall begin the battle?” He answered,“ You.”Then he mustered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty- two. After them, he mustered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.They went out at noon. But Ben Hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty- two kings who helped him.The young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben Hadad sent out, and they told him, saying,“ Men are coming out from Samaria.”He said,“ If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive.”So these went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed them.They each killed his man. The Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them. Ben Hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with horsemen.The king of Israel went out, and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Syrians with a great slaughter.The prophet came near to the king of Israel, and said to him,“ Go, strengthen yourself, and mark, and see what you do; for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against you.”

“ Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall encamp opposite it by the sea.Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel,‘ They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.’I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh.” They did so.

When Pharaoh had let the people go, God didn’t lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said,“ Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and they return to Egypt”;

Yahweh said to Joshua,“ Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valor.All of your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this six days.Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the city wall shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up, every man straight in front of him.”

He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, put out his hand, took it, and struck a thousand men with it.Samson said,“ With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men.”
