5 He told the men of Succoth, |Please give loaves of bread to the soldiers who are following behind me. They're tired, and I'm pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.| 6 But the officials of Succoth replied, |Do you have Zebah and Zalmunna in custody already, so that we should give food to your army?| 7 So Gideon responded, |Okay then, but when the LORD has turned over Zebah and Zalmunna into my control, I'm going to whip you with thorns and briers from the desert!| 8 Then he left there to go to Penuel and asked the same thing from them, but the men of Penuel responded the same way the men of Succoth did.
