4. And Gideon came to the Jordan and passed over, he and the 300 men with him, faint yet pursuing.
5. And he said to the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread to the people who follow me, for they are faint, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.
6. And the princes of Succoth said, Are Zebah and Zalmunna already in your hand, that we should give bread to your army?
7. And Gideon said, For that, when the Lord has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, I will thresh your flesh with the thorns and briers of the wilderness!
8. And he went from there up to Penuel and made the same request, and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had done.
9. And [Gideon] said to the men of Penuel, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.
10. Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor with their army–about 15,000 men, all who were left of all the army of the sons of the east, for there had fallen 120,000 men who drew the sword.
