Judges 8:5-10 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

5. and he saith to the men of Succoth, `Give, I pray you, cakes of bread to the people who [are] at my feet, for they [are] wearied, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna kings of Midian.'

6. And the heads of Succoth say, `Is the hand of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we give to thy host bread?'

7. And Gideon saith, `Therefore--in Jehovah's giving Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand-- I have threshed your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness, and with the threshing instruments.'

8. And he goeth up thence [to] Penuel, and speaketh unto them thus; and the men of Penuel answer him as the men of Succoth answered.

9. And he speaketh also to the men of Penuel, saying, `In my turning back in peace, I break down this tower.'

10. And Zebah and Zalmunna [are] in Karkor, and their camps with them, about fifteen thousand, all who are left of all the camp of the sons of the east; and those falling [are] a hundred and twenty thousand men, drawing sword.
