Judges 8:5-7

International Standard Version

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^[a] already, so that we should give food to your army?”

⁷ So Gideon responded, “Very well 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!”
