5 So Gideon said to the men of Succoth, |Please give me some food for the men under my command. They're exhausted, and I'm pursuing King Zebah and King Zalmunna of Midian.| 6 The generals at Succoth replied, |We shouldn't give your army food. You haven't captured Zebah and Zalmunna yet.| 7 Gideon responded, |Alright, then. When the LORD hands Zebah and Zalmunna over to me, I'll whip your bodies with thorns and thistles from the desert.| 8 Then Gideon went to Penuel and asked the people there for the same help. But they gave him the same reply that the men of Succoth gave. Judges 8:5-8, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
