Judges 8:5-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵ And he said to the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread to the people who follow me, for they are faint, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.

⁶ And the princes of Succoth said, Are Zebah and Zalmunna already in your hand, that we should give bread to your army?

⁷ And Gideon said, For that, when the Lord has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, I will thresh your flesh with the thorns and briers of the wilderness!

⁸ And he went from there up to Penuel and made the same request, and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had done.

⁹ And [Gideon] said to the men of Penuel, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.
