...only ten thousand remained to fight in battle, but for GOD, that number was still too large. Therefore, God had Gideon to take the men to drink water, for God himself selected the few. The few didn’t consist of those who used proper mannerisms or good etiquette; actually, those types were obsoleted, and not suited for God’s current purpose. But, rather, God chose those who submerged their mouths into the water and lapped, as a dog would lap, so don’t be socially hung up with these attributes: Refined, Cultured, Educated, Prone to Etiquette, Sophisticated or Proper; they are sure ways to keep you from being numbered among the few. KJV Judges 7-5
