3 aGod has delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb. And what was I able to do in comparison with you?” Then their banger toward him subsided when he said that.
4 When Gideon came ato the Jordan, he and bthe three hundred men who were with him crossed over, exhausted but still in pursuit.
5 Then he said to the men of aSuccoth, “Please give loaves of bread to the people who follow me, for they are exhausted, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.”
6 And the leaders of Succoth said, a“Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that bwe should give bread to your army?”
7 So Gideon said, “For this cause, when the Lord has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, athen I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers!”
8 Then he went up from there ato Penuel and spoke to them in the same way. And the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.
9 So he also spoke to the men of Penuel, saying, “When I acome back in peace, bI will tear down this tower!”
