Judges 8:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 8:5

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!”
