Gideon Captures Two Kings of Midian

Then Gideon and his 300 men came to the Jordan River and went across to the other side, but they were tired and hungry.[a] Gideon said to the men of the city of Succoth, “Give my soldiers something to eat. They are very tired. We are still chasing Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.”

But the leaders of the city of Succoth said to Gideon, “Why should we give your soldiers something to eat? You haven’t caught Zebah and Zalmunna yet.”
