Judges 8:5-21

And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto the men
<0582>
of Succoth
<05523>_,
Give
<05414> (8798)_,
I pray you, loaves
<03603>
of bread
<03899>
unto the people
<05971>
that follow
<07272>
me; for they [be] faint
<05889>_,
and I am pursuing
<07291> (8802)
after
<0310>
Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>_,
kings
<04428>
of Midian
<04080>_.
And the princes
<08269>
of Succoth
<05523>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Are] the hands
<03709>
of Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>
now in thine hand
<03027>_,
that we should give
<05414> (8799)
bread
<03899>
unto thine army
<06635>_?
And Gideon
<01439>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Therefore when the LORD
<03068>
hath delivered
<05414> (8800)
Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>
into mine hand
<03027>_,
then I will tear
<01758> (8804)
your flesh
<01320>
with the thorns
<06975>
of the wilderness
<04057>
and with briers
<01303>_.
{tear: Heb. thresh}
And he went up
<05927> (8799)
thence to Penuel
<06439>_,
and spake
<01696> (8762)
unto them likewise
<02063>_:
and the men
<0582>
of Penuel
<06439>
answered
<06030> (8799)
him as the men
<0582>
of Succoth
<05523>
had answered
<06030> (8804)
[him].
And he spake
<0559> (8799)
also unto the men
<0582>
of Penuel
<06439>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
When I come again
<07725> (8800)
in peace
<07965>_,
I will break down
<05422> (8799)
this tower
<04026>_.
Now Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>
[were] in Karkor
<07174>_,
and their hosts
<04264>
with them, about fifteen
<02568> <06240>
thousand
<0505>
[men], all that were left
<03498> (8737)
of all the hosts
<04264>
of the children
<01121>
of the east
<06924>_:
for there fell
<05307> (8802)
an hundred
<03967>
and twenty
<06242>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
that drew
<08025> (8802)
sword
<02719>_.
{men that...: or, every one drawing a sword}
And Gideon
<01439>
went up
<05927> (8799)
by the way
<01870>
of them that dwelt
<07931> (8803)
in tents
<0168>
on the east
<06924>
of Nobah
<05025>
and Jogbehah
<03011>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
the host
<04264>_:
for the host
<04264>
was secure
<0983>_.
And when Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>
fled
<05127> (8799)_,
he pursued
<07291> (8799)
after
<0310>
them, and took
<03920> (8799)
the two
<08147>
kings
<04428>
of Midian
<04080>_,
Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>_,
and discomfited
<02729> (8689)
all the host
<04264>_.
{discomfited: Heb. terrified}
And Gideon
<01439>
the son
<01121>
of Joash
<03101>
returned
<07725> (8799)
from battle
<04421>
before
<04608>
the sun
<02775>
[was up],
And caught
<03920> (8799)
a young man
<05288>
of the men
<0582>
of Succoth
<05523>_,
and enquired
<07592> (8799)
of him: and he described
<03789> (8799)
unto him the princes
<08269>
of Succoth
<05523>_,
and the elders
<02205>
thereof, [even] threescore and seventeen
<07657> <07651>
men
<0376>_.
{described: Heb. writ}
And he came
<0935> (8799)
unto the men
<0582>
of Succoth
<05523>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>_,
with whom ye did upbraid
<02778> (8765)
me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
[Are] the hands
<03709>
of Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>
now in thine hand
<03027>_,
that we should give
<05414> (8799)
bread
<03899>
unto thy men
<0582>
[that are] weary
<03287>_?
And he took
<03947> (8799)
the elders
<02205>
of the city
<05892>_,
and thorns
<06975>
of the wilderness
<04057>
and briers
<01303>_,
and with them he taught
<03045> (8686)
the men
<0582>
of Succoth
<05523>_.
{taught: Heb. made to know}
And he beat down
<05422> (8804)
the tower
<04026>
of Penuel
<06439>_,
and slew
<02026> (8799)
the men
<0582>
of the city
<05892>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
he unto Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>_,
What
<0375>
manner of men
<0582>
[were they] whom ye slew
<02026> (8804)
at Tabor
<08396>_?
And they answered
<0559> (8799)_,
As thou
<03644>
[art], so [were] they; each one
<0259>
resembled
<08389>
the children
<01121>
of a king
<04428>_.
{resembled...: Heb. according to the form, etc}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
They [were] my brethren
<0251>_,
[even] the sons
<01121>
of my mother
<0517>_:
[as] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
if
<03863>
ye had saved them alive
<02421> (8689)_,
I would not slay
<02026> (8804)
you.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jether
<03500>
his firstborn
<01060>_,
Up
<06965> (8798)_,
[and] slay
<02026> (8798)
them. But the youth
<05288>
drew
<08025> (8804)
not his sword
<02719>_:
for he feared
<03372> (8804)_,
because he [was] yet a youth
<05288>_.
Then Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Rise
<06965> (8798)
thou, and fall
<06293> (8798)
upon us: for as the man
<0376>
[is, so is] his strength
<01369>_.
And Gideon
<01439>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and slew
<02026> (8799)
Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>_,
and took away
<03947> (8799)
the ornaments
<07720>
that [were] on their camels
<01581>_'
necks
<06677>_.
{ornaments: or, ornaments like the moon}
