Judges 8:4-9

4Then GideonH1439 and hisH854 threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376 cameH935 to the JordanH3383 and crossed itH5674H1931, exhaustedH5889 yet still in pursuitH7291. 5So Gideon saidH559 to the menH582 of SuccothH5523, “PleaseH4994 giveH5414 my troopsH5971 someH3603 breadH3899, forH3588 theyH1992 are exhaustedH5889, and IH595 am still pursuingH7291H310 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, the kingsH4428 of MidianH4080.”

6But the leadersH8269 of SuccothH5523 askedH559, “Are the handsH3709 of ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 alreadyH6258 in your possessionH3027, thatH3588 we should giveH5414 breadH3899 to your armyH6635?”

7“Very wellH3651,” GideonH1439 repliedH559, “when the LORDH3068 has deliveredH5414 ZebahH2078 andH853 ZalmunnaH6759 into my handH3027, I will tearH1758 your fleshH1320 withH854 the thornsH6975 and briersH1303 of the wildernessH4057H854!”

8From thereH8033 he went upH5927 to PenuelH64391 and askedH1696 the sameH2063 from themH413, but the menH582 of PenuelH6439 gave the same responseH6030 asH834 the menH582 of SuccothH5523. 9SoH1571 Gideon toldH559 the menH582 of PenuelH6439H559, “When I returnH7725 in triumphH7965, I will tear downH5422 thisH2088 towerH4026!”
