Judges 8:4-9
4Then Gideon and the 300 men who were with him came ato the Jordan and crossed over, weary yet pursuing. 5And he said to the men of aSuccoth, “Please give loaves of bread to the people who are following me, for they are weary, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.” 6But the princes of Succoth said, “1,aAre the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your hands, that we should give bread to your army?” 7And Gideon said, “Thus, awhen Yahweh has given Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will 1thrash your 2bodies with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.” 8So he went up from there to 1,aPenuel and spoke similarly to them; and the men of Penuel answered him just as the men of Succoth had answered. 9So he spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, “When I return safely, aI will tear down this tower.”
