Judges 8:2-7

2And he saidH559 unto them, WhatH4100 have I nowH6258 doneH6213 in comparison of youH6213? Is notH3808 the gleaningH5955 of the grapes of EphraimH669 betterH2896 thanH3808 the vintageH1210 of AbiezerH44?

3GodH430 hath deliveredH5414 intoH5921 your handH3027 the princesH8269 of MidianH4080, OrebH6159 and ZeebH2062: and whatH4100 was I ableH3201 to doH6213 in comparison of youH5414? Then their angerH7307 was abated towardH5921 him, when he had saidH1696 that.

4And GideonH1439 cameH935 to JordanH3383, and passedH5674 over, he, and the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376 that were with him, faintH5889, yet pursuingH7291.

5And he saidH559 unto the menH376 of SuccothH5523, GiveH5414, I prayH4994 youH834, loavesH3899 of breadH3899 unto the peopleH5971 that followH310 meH5414; for they be faintH5889, and I am pursuingH7291 afterH310 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, the kingsH4428 of MidianH4080.

6And the princesH8269 of SuccothH5523 saidH559, Are the handsH3027 of ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 nowH6258 in thine handH3027, that weH3588 should giveH5414 breadH3899 unto thine armyH6635?

7And GideonH1439 saidH559: Therefore when the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 intoH3027 mine handH3027, then I will tear your fleshH1320 with the thornsH6975 of the wildernessH4057 and with briersH1303.
