Judges 8:4-9

4Then Gideon and the three hundred men who were with him came 1to the Jordan and crossed over, exhausted yet still pursuing. 5And he said to the men of 2Succoth, “Please give loaves of bread to the people who are 3following me, for they are exhausted, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.” 6But the leaders of Succoth said, “45Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your hand, that we should give bread to your army?” 7So Gideon said, “For this answer, 6when the Lord has handed over to me Zebah and Zalmunna, I will 7thrash your 8bodies with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.” 8Then he went up from there to 910Penuel and spoke similarly to them; and the men of Penuel answered him just as the men of Succoth had answered. 9So he said also to the men of 11Penuel, “When I return safely, 12I will tear down this tower.”
