Judges 8:4-9

4And GideonH1439 cameH935 to JordanH3383, and passed overH5674, he, and the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376 that were with him, faintH5889, yet pursuingH7291 them. 5And he saidH559 unto the menH582 of SuccothH5523, GiveH5414, I pray you, loavesH3603 of breadH3899 unto the peopleH5971 that followH7272 me; for they be faintH5889, and I am pursuingH7291 afterH310 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, kingsH4428 of MidianH4080.

6And the princesH8269 of SuccothH5523 saidH559, Are the handsH3709 of ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 now in thine handH3027, that we should giveH5414 breadH3899 unto thine armyH6635? 7And GideonH1439 saidH559, Therefore when YhwhH3068 hath deliveredH5414 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 into mine handH3027, then I will tearH1758 your fleshH1320 with the thornsH6975 of the wildernessH4057 and with briersH1303.1

8And he went upH5927 thence to PenuelH6439, and spakeH1696 unto them likewiseH2063: and the menH582 of PenuelH6439 answeredH6030 him as the menH582 of SuccothH5523 had answeredH6030 him. 9And he spakeH559 also unto the menH582 of PenuelH6439, sayingH559, When I come againH7725 in peaceH7965, I will break downH5422 this towerH4026.
