Judges 8:4-9

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁴ ¶ And Gideon came to pass the Jordan, he and the three hundred men that were with him, faint from the pursuit.

⁵ And he said unto those of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they are faint that I may pursue after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.

⁶ And the principals of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand that we should give bread unto thy army?

⁷ And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns and the briers of the wilderness.

⁸ And he went up from there to Penuel and spoke unto them likewise; and those of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.

⁹ And he spoke also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.
