That same night the Lord told Gideon to cross the river and spy on the Midianites. In the dark night Gideon and his servant crept toward the Midianite camp. There were thousands and thousands of them. There were many more camels than Midianites. The fields were full of camel humps.

   God had told Gideon, "When you spy on the Midianites, you will hear something which will help you win the battle." 

   Inside the camp Gideon hid behind a tent. He heard voices inside.

   One Midianite soldier said to another, "I just had the strangest dream A loaf of bread came tumbling into our camp and turned it upside down."

   "I know what that means," the other soldier said. "That's Gideon and his Israelite army The will beat our army tomorrow because the one, true God is leading them."

   Gideon thought to himself, "Even the Midianites are scared of me. They know God is on our side.
