Judges 8:2-7

2But he said to them, “What have I done now in comparison with you? Is the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim not better than the vintage of Abiezer? 3God has handed over to you the leaders of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and what was I able to do in comparison with you?” Then their 1anger toward him subsided when he said 2that.

4Then Gideon and the three hundred men who were with him came 3to the Jordan and crossed over, exhausted yet still pursuing. 5And he said to the men of 4Succoth, “Please give loaves of bread to the people who are 5following me, for they are exhausted, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.” 6But the leaders of Succoth said, “67Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your hand, that we should give bread to your army?” 7So Gideon said, “For this answer, 8when the Lord has handed over to me Zebah and Zalmunna, I will 9thrash your 10bodies with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.”
