Judges 8:4-9
21st Century King James Version
4 And Gideon came to the Jordan and passed over, he and the three hundred men who were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.
5 And he said unto the men of Succoth, “Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people who follow me, for they are faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.”
6 And the princes of Succoth said, “Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?”
7 And Gideon said, “Therefore when the Lord hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.”
8 And he went up thence to Penuel and spoke unto them likewise, and the men 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.”
