Judges 8:2-7

2But he saidH559 to them, “WhatH4100 have I doneH6213 nowH6258 in comparison with you? Is not the gleaningH5955 of the grapes of EphraimH669 betterH2896 thanH4480 the vintageH1210 of AbiezerH44? 3GodH430 has givenH5414 the leadersH8269 of MidianH4080, OrebH6159 and ZeebH2062 into your handsH3027; and whatH4100 was I ableH3201 to doH6213 in comparison with you?” ThenH227 their 1angerH7307 towardH4480H5921 him subsidedH7503 when he saidH1696 2that.

4Then GideonH1439 and the 300H7969H3967 menH376 whoH834 were with him cameH935 3to the JordanH3383 and crossedH5674 overH5674, wearyH5889 yet pursuingH7291. 5He saidH559 to the menH376 of 4SuccothH5523, “PleaseH4994 giveH5414 loavesH3603 of breadH3899 to the peopleH5971 whoH834 are followingH7272 me, for they are wearyH5889, and I am pursuingH7291 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, the kingsH4428 of MidianH4080.” 6The leadersH8269 of SuccothH5523 saidH559, “56Are the handsH3709 of ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 alreadyH6258 in your handsH3027, that we should giveH5414 breadH3899 to your armyH6635?” 7GideonH1439 saidH559, “7All rightH3651, 8when the LordH3068 has givenH5414 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 into my handH3027, then I will 9thrashH1758 your 10bodiesH1320 with the thornsH6975 of the wildernessH4057 and with briersH1303.”
