Judges 8:13-17
Lexham English Bible
13 Then Gideon son of Jehoash returned from the battle by way of[a] the ascent of Heres.[b] 14 He captured a young man from Succoth[c] and questioned him. The young man listed[d] for him the commanders of Succoth and its elders, seventy-seven men. 15 He came to the men of Succoth, and he said, “Here is Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you taunted me, saying, ‘Is the palm[e] of Zebah and Zalmunna in your hand now, that we should give food to your weary men?’” 16 He took the elders of the city and the thorn bushes and briers of the wilderness, and he trampled[f] the men of Succoth with them. 17 He broke down the tower of Penuel, and he killed the men of the city.
