Judges 7:1-3
Contemporary English Version

The Israelites would think that they had won the battle all by themselves and that I didn't have anything to do with it. 3 (A) So call your troops together and tell them that anyone who is really afraid can leave Mount Gilead[c] and go home.”
Twenty-two thousand men returned home, leaving Gideon with only 10,000 soldiers.
