Judges 8
And
the
men
of
Ephraim
said
unto
him,
Why
hast
thou
served
us
thus,
that
thou
calledst
us
not,
when
thou
wentest
to
fight
with
the
Midianites?
And
they
did
chide
with
him
sharply.
2 And
he
said
unto
them,
What
have
I
done
now
in
comparison
of
you?
Is
not
the
gleaning
of
the
grapes
of
Ephraim
better
than
the
vintage
of
Abi-ezer?
3 God
hath
delivered
into
your
hands
the
princes
of
Midian,
Oreb
and
Zeeb:
and
what
was
I
able
to
do
in
comparison
of
you?
Then
their
anger
was
abated
toward
him,
when
he
had
said
that.
4 And
Gideon
came
to
Jordan,
and
passed
over,
he,
and
the
three
hundred
men
that
were
with
him,
faint,
yet
pursuing
them.
5 And
he
said
unto
the
men
of
Succoth,
Give,
I
pray
you,
loaves
of
bread
unto
the
people
that
follow
me;
for
they
be
faint,
and
I
am
pursuing
after
a
Zebah
and
Zalmunna,
kings
of
Midian.
6 And
the
princes
of
Succoth
said,
Are
the
hands
of
Zebah
and
Zalmunna
now
in
thine
hand,
that
we
should
give
bread
unto
thine
army?
7 And
Gideon
said,
Therefore
when
the
Lord
hath
delivered
Zebah
and
Zalmunna
into
mine
hand,
then
I
will
tear
your
flesh
with
the
thorns
of
the
wilderness
and
with
briers.
8 And
he
went
up
thence
to
Penuel,
and
spake
unto
them
likewise:
and
the
men
of
Penuel
answered
him
as
the
men
of
Succoth
had
answered
him.
9 And
he
spake
also
unto
the
men
of
Penuel,
saying,
When
I
come
again
in
peace,
I
will
break
down
this
tower.
10 Now
Zebah
and
Zalmunna
were
in
Karkor,
and
their
hosts
with
them,
about
fifteen
thousand
men,
all
that
were
left
of
all
the
hosts
of
the
children
of
the
east:
for
there
fell
an
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
men
that
drew
sword.
11 And
Gideon
went
up
by
the
way
of
them
that
dwelt
in
tents
on
the
east
of
Nobah
and
Jogbehah,
and
smote
the
host:
for
the
host
was
a
secure.
12 And
when
Zebah
and
Zalmunna
fled,
he
pursued
after
them,
and
took
the
two
kings
of
Midian,
Zebah
and
Zalmunna,
and
discomfited
all
the
host.
