Compare all
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.

Judges 8:9

he spake . . ., When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower—Intent on the pursuit, and afraid of losing time, he postponed the merited vengeance till his return. His confident anticipation of a triumphant return evinces the strength of his faith; and his specific threat was probably provoked by some proud and presumptuous boast, that in their lofty watchtower the Penuelites would set him at defiance.
