Az was all da guys dat still stay alive from da east side peopos, afta 120,000 guys wit swords wen mahke awready. 11 Gideon go up da road da peopo use dat live in tents an no stay one place long time cuz dey need grass fo dea animals, da east side a Nobah an Jogbehah. Cuz da Midian guys dea donno Gideon stay come, da Gideon guys wack dea army camp. 12 So Zebah an Zalmunna, da two Midian king guys, run away fas, but Gideon guys chase um an catch um. An Gideon dem make all da Midian army guys run all ova da place.
