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.
