Judges 8:7-16

7GideonH1439 saidH559, “1All rightH3651, 2when the LordH3068 has givenH5414 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 into my handH3027, then I will 3thrashH1758 your 4bodiesH1320 with the thornsH6975 of the wildernessH4057 and with briersH1303.” 8He wentH5927 up from thereH8033 to 56PenuelH6439 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, 7I will tearH5422 downH5422 thisH2088 towerH4026.”

10Now ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 were in KarkorH7174, and their 8armiesH4264 with them, about 15,000H2568H6240H505 men, allH3605 who were leftH3498 of the entireH3605 9armyH4264 of the sonsH1121 of the eastH6924; 10for the fallenH5307 were 120,000H3967H6242H505 11swordsmenH376H8025H2719. 11GideonH1439 wentH5927 up by the wayH1870 of those who livedH7931 in tentsH168 on the eastH6924 of NobahH5025 and JogbehahH3011, and 12attackedH5221 the campH4264 when the campH4264 was 13unsuspectingH983. 12When ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 fledH5127, he pursuedH7291 them and capturedH3920 the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of MidianH4080, ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, and routedH2729 the wholeH3605 14armyH4264.

13Then GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3060 returnedH7725 from the battleH4421 15by the ascentH4608 of HeresH2776. 14And he capturedH3920 a youthH5288 16from SuccothH5523 and questionedH7592 him. Then the youth wroteH3789 downH3789 for him the princesH8269 of SuccothH5523 and its eldersH2205, seventy-sevenH7657 menH376. 15He cameH935 to the menH376 of SuccothH5523 and saidH559, “BeholdH2009 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, concerning whomH834 you tauntedH2778 me, sayingH559, ‘1718Are the handsH3709 of ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 alreadyH6258 in your handH3027, that we should giveH5414 breadH3899 to your menH376 who are wearyH3287?’” 16He tookH3947 the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892, and thornsH6975 of the wildernessH4057 and briersH1303, and he 19disciplinedH3045 the menH376 of SuccothH5523 with them.
