Judges 8:4-9
Legacy Standard Bible
4 Then Gideon and the 300 men who were with him came (A)to the Jordan and crossed over, weary yet pursuing. 5 And he said to the men of (B)Succoth, “Please give loaves of bread to the people who are following me, for they are weary, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.” 6 But the princes of Succoth said, “[a](C)Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your hands, that we should give bread to your army?” 7 And Gideon said, “Thus, (D)when Yahweh has given Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will [b]thrash your [c]bodies with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.” 8 So he went up from there to [d](E)Penuel and spoke similarly to them; and the men of Penuel answered him just as the men of Succoth had answered. 9 So he spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, “When I return safely, (F)I will tear down this tower.”

Judges 8:4-9
New King James Version
4 When Gideon came (A)to the Jordan, he and (B)the three hundred men who were with him crossed over, exhausted but still in pursuit. 5 Then he said to the men of (C)Succoth, “Please give loaves of bread to the people who follow me, for they are exhausted, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.”
6 And the leaders of Succoth said, (D)“Are[a] the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that (E)we should give bread to your army?”
7 So Gideon said, “For this cause, when the Lord has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, (F)then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers!” 8 Then he went up from there (G)to 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 (H)come back in peace, (I)I will tear down this tower!”
