Gideon gathered an army of 32,000 men. But God said, “That's too many!”
God made the army smaller and smaller until only 300 men were left. They had trumpets, jars, and torches.
In the night, they blew the trumpets, broke the jars, and shouted! The enemy was so confused they ran away. God won the battle!
