Gideon ser, hvorledes soldaterne drikker 1561

"Gideon ser, hvorledes soldaterne drikker" (Gideon Sees How the Soldiers Drink) is a 1561 engraving by an anonymous artist depicting a scene from the biblical Book of Judges. This artwork is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, Denmark. The image features a group of soldiers on their knees, lapping water from a stream, with a larger figure standing above them, possibly Gideon himself. The scene highlights a key moment in the biblical narrative where Gideon's army defeats the Midianites by their method of drinking water, a visual reminder of the importance of strategy and resourcefulness in battle.
