Mu kwita kwa simbu, baIsalele bashangumukile lalo kulemesa binjambi ba makuli. Co ha myaka 7, baMidiani bakele na kwibila baIsalele bimuna babo na kubiisa bimbuto byabo. BaIsalele bakabandele mu mena a mu mamanya na ku minkinda mwafwa ya kutewa baMidiani. Co balambelelele Yehova ngwabo abobole. Ngeci, Yehova watumine kangelo kuli mukwenje wa lizina lya Gidioni. Uje kangelo wendekele ngwendi: ‘Yehova nakwangula kupwa muka-kulwa wa nzili.’ Co Gidioni wamwihwile ngwendi: ‘Njasa kwobola bati baIsalele? Njiwangoco.’

Wakele bwanda hasi na kuleka Yehova ngwendi: ‘Nga obu bwanda bujula na lime mutondo, oloni hasi kuhajulu, co njizibuka ngwange cili bene ushaka ngwobe njobole baIsalele.’ Lyamukwabo mutondo, bwanda bwajulile, oloni hasi kuhajulile.
