When he got up the next morning, he squeezed the fleece, and enough dew dripped from it to fill a bowl. 39 Gideon said to God,“Please do not get angry at me, when I ask for just one more sign.

Hezekiah showed them everything in his palace and in his whole kingdom. 14 Isaiah the prophet visited King Hezekiah and asked him,“What did these men say? Where do they come from?” Hezekiah replied,“They come from the distant land of Babylon.” 15 Isaiah asked,“What have they seen in your palace?” Hezekiah replied,“They have seen everything in my palace.

He put the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot. He brought the food to him under the oak tree and presented it to him. 20 God’s angel said to him,“Put the meat and unleavened bread on this rock, and pour out the broth.” Gideon did as instructed. 21 The LORD’s angel touched the meat and the unleavened bread with the tip of his staff. Fire flared up from the rock and consumed the meat and unleavened bread. The LORD’s angel then disappeared. 22 When Gideon realized that it was the LORD’s angel, he said,“Oh no! Sovereign LORD! I have seen the LORD’s angel face to face!”
