Gideon Defeats Zebah and Zalmunna
1
1Then the men of Ephraim said to him, "What is this that you have done to us, not to call us when you went to fight against Midian?" And they accused him fiercely.
2
And he said to them, "What have I done now in comparison with you? Is not 2the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the grape harvest of Abiezer?
3
3God has given into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb. What have I been able to do in comparison with you?"4Then their angera against him subsided when he said this.
4
And Gideon came to the Jordan and crossed over, he and 5the 300 men who were with him, exhausted yet pursuing.
5
So he said to the men of 6Succoth, "Please give loaves of bread to the people who follow me, for they are exhausted, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian."
6
And the officials of Succoth said, 7"Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your hand, 8that we should give bread to your army?"
7
So Gideon said, "Well then, when the LORD has given Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, 9I will flail your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers."
8
And from there he went up to 10Penuel, and spoke to them in the same way, and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.
10
Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor with their army, about 15,000 men, all who were left of all the army of 13the people of the East, for there had fallen 120,000 men 14who drew the sword.
11
And Gideon went up by the way of the tent dwellers east of 15Nobah and Jogbehah and attacked the army, for the army felt 16secure.
12
And Zebah and Zalmunna fled, and he pursued them 17and captured the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and he threw all the army into a panic.
13
Then Gideon the son of Joash returned from the battle by the ascent of Heres.
14
And he captured a young man of Succoth and questioned him. And he wrote down for him the officials and elders of Succoth, seventy-seven men.
15
And he came to the men of Succoth and said, "Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you taunted me, saying, 18'Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your hand, that we should give bread to your men who are exhausted?'"
16
And he took the elders of the city, and he took thorns of the wilderness and briers and with them taught the men of Succoth a lesson.
18
Then he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, "Where are the men whom you killed at 20Tabor?" They answered, "As you are, so were they. Every one of them resembled the son of a king."
19
And he said, "They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. 21As the LORD lives, if you had saved them alive, I would not kill you."
20
So he said to Jether his firstborn, "Rise and kill them!" But the young man did not draw his sword, for he was afraid, because he was still a young man.
