Judges 8:10–17
10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand men remained from the entire armyg of the people of the east; those that fell in battle were one hundred and twenty thousand ⌊swordsmen⌋.h 11 And Gideon went up the route of those who dwell in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and he attacked the armyi when it was off its guard.j 12 And Zebah and Zalmunna fled, and he pursued them and captured the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and he routedk the entire army.l
13 Then Gideon son of Jehoash returned from the battle ⌊by way of⌋m the ascent of Heres.n 14 He captured a young man ⌊from Succoth⌋o and questioned him. The young man listedp for him the commanders of Succoth and its elders, seventy-seven men. 15 He came to the men of Succoth, and he said, “Here is Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you taunted me, saying, ‘Is the palmq of Zebah and Zalmunna in your hand now, that we should give food to your weary men?’ ” 16 He took the elders of the city and the thorn bushes and briers of the wilderness, and ⌊he trampled⌋r the men of Succoth with them. 17 He broke down the tower of Penuel, and he killed the men of the city.
