Judges 8:4-9

4Then GideonH1439 and the 300H7969H3967 menH376 whoH834 were with him cameH935 1to the JordanH3383 and crossedH5674 overH5674, wearyH5889 yet pursuingH7291. 5He saidH559 to the menH376 of 2SuccothH5523, “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, “34Are the handsH3709 of ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 alreadyH6258 in your handsH3027, that we should giveH5414 breadH3899 to your armyH6635?” 7GideonH1439 saidH559, “5All rightH3651, 6when the LordH3068 has givenH5414 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 into my handH3027, then I will 7thrashH1758 your 8bodiesH1320 with the thornsH6975 of the wildernessH4057 and with briersH1303.” 8He wentH5927 up from thereH8033 to 910PenuelH6439 and spokeH1696 similarlyH2088 to them; and the menH376 of PenuelH6439 answeredH6030 him justH3512 as the menH376 of SuccothH5523 had answeredH6030. 9So he spokeH559 alsoH1571 to the menH376 of PenuelH6439, sayingH559, “When I returnH7725 safelyH7965, 11I will tearH5422 downH5422 thisH2088 towerH4026.”
