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.
8And he wentH5927 upH5927 thence to PenuelH6439, and spake unto them in like manner: and the menH376 of PenuelH6439 answeredH6030 him as the menH376 of SuccothH5523 had answeredH6030.
9And he spake also unto the menH376 of PenuelH6439, sayingH559, When I comeH7725 againH7725 in peaceH7965, I will breakH5422 downH5422 this towerH4026.
10Now ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, aboutH3605 fifteenH6240 thousandH505 menH376, allH3605 that were leftH3498 of allH3605 the hostH4264 of the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924: for there fellH5307 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719.
11And GideonH1439 wentH5927 upH5927 by the wayH1870 of them that dweltH7931 in tentsH168 on the eastH6924 of NobahH5025 and JogbehahH3011, and smoteH5221 the hostH4264; for the hostH4264 was secureH983.
12And ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 fledH5127; and he pursuedH7291 afterH310 them; and he tookH3920 the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of MidianH4080, ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, and discomfited allH3605 the hostH4264.
13And GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 returnedH7725 from the battleH4421 from the ascentH4608 of Heres.
14And he caughtH3920 a youngH5288 manH376 of the menH376 of SuccothH5523, and inquiredH7592 of him: and he describedH3789 for him the princesH8269 of SuccothH5523, and the eldersH2205 thereof, seventyH7657 and sevenH7651 menH376.
15And he cameH935 unto the menH376 of SuccothH5523, and saidH559, BeholdH2009 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, concerning whomH834 ye didH834 tauntH2778 meH413, sayingH559, Are the handsH3027 of ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 nowH6258 in thine handH3027, that weH3588 should giveH5414 breadH3899 unto thy menH376 that are wearyH3286?
16And he tookH3947 the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892, and thornsH6975 of the wildernessH4057 and briersH1303, and with them he taughtH3045 the menH376 of SuccothH5523.
17And he brake downH5422 the towerH4026 of PenuelH6439, and slewH2026 the menH376 of the cityH5892.
