Compare all
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.

Judges 8:6

Are the hands, etc. - Art thou so foolish, to think with thy three hundred faint and weary soldiers, to conquer and destroy an host of fifteen thousand Men? Thus the bowels of their compassion were shut up against their brethren. Were these Israelites! Surely they were worshippers of Baal, or in the interest of Midian.
