23 The men of Israel were summoned from Naphtali and Asher and all Manasseh , and they pursued Midian . 24 Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim , saying , "Come down against Midian and take the waters before them, as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan ." So all the men of Ephraim were summoned and they took the waters as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan . 25 They captured the two leaders of Midian , Oreb and Zeeb , and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb , and they killed Zeeb at the wine press of Zeeb , while they pursued Midian ; and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon from across the Jordan .

(Read Judges 7:23-25)
Two chief commanders of the host of Midian were taken and slain by the men of Ephraim. It were to be wished that we all did as these did, and that where help is needed, that it were willingly and readily performed by another. And that if there were any excellent and profitable matter begun, we were willing to have fellow-labourers to the finishing and perfecting the same, and not, as often, hinder one another.
