5 So he said to the men of Succoth, 'Pray, give loaves of bread to the people who follow me; for they are faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmun'na, the kings of Mid'ian.'
6 And the officials of Succoth said, 'Are Zebah and Zalmun'na already in your hand, that we should give bread to your army?'
7 And Gideon said, 'Well then, when the LORD has given Zebah and Zalmun'na into my hand, I will flail your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.'
8 And from there he went up to Penu'el, and spoke to them in the same way; and the men of Penu'el answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.
9 And he said to the men of Penu'el, 'When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.'
