Judges 8:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 8:8

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!”

10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were at Karkor, and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand, all who were left of ^aall the army of the people of the East; for ^bone hundred and twenty thousand men who drew the sword had fallen.

11 Then Gideon went up by the road of those who dwell in tents on the east of ^aNobah and Jogbehah; and he attacked the army while the camp felt ^bsecure.
