[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: of Penuel answered of Succoth had answered [9] And he spake of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.
