@Judges:8:1 @ And the men of Ephraim said unto him, What is this thing that thou hast done unto us, not to call for us, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they quarrelled with him vehemently.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:8:2 @ And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison with you? Is not the gleaning of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:8:3 @ Into your hand God delivered the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what have I been able to do in comparison with you? Then was their anger abated from him, when he had spoken this speech.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:8:4 @ And Gidon came to the Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, and in pursuit.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:8:5 @ And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, a few loaves of bread unto the people that are in my train; for they are faint, and I am pursuing after Zebach and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:8:6 @ And the princes of Succoth said, Is the sole of the foot of Zebach and Zalmunna now already in thy hand, that we should give unto thy army bread?
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:8:7 @ And Gidon said, Therefore when the Lord hath delivered Zebach and Zalmunna into my hand, then will I thresh your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:8:8 @ And he went up thence to Penuel, and spoke unto them in the same manner: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:8:9 @ And he said also unto the men of Penuel thus, When I return again in peace, I will break down this tower.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:8:10 @ Now Zebach and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their camps with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that had been left of all the camp of the children of the east; but those who had fallen were one hundred and twenty thousand men that drew the sword.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:8:11 @ And Gidon went up by the way of those that dwelt in tents, to the east of Nobach and Yogbehah, and smote the camp; but the camp thought itself secure.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:8:12 @ And Zebach and Zalmunna fled; but he pursued after them, and captured the two kings of Midian, Zebach and Zalmunna, and all the camp he discomfited.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:8:13 @ And Gidon the son of Joash returned from the battle before the rising of the sun,
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:8:14 @ And he caught a young man of the people of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he wrote down for him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, seventy and seven men.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:8:15 @ And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold here are Zebach and Zalmunna, with whom ye derided me, saying, Is the sole of the foot of Zebach and Zalmunna now already in thy hand, that we should give unto thy weary men bread?
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:8:16 @ And he took the elders of the city, and the thorns of the wilderness and briers, and chastised with them the men of Succoth.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:8:17 @ And the tower of Penuel he beat down, and slew the men of the city.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:8:18 @ And he said unto Zebach and Zalmunna, What kind of men were those whom ye slew at Tabor! And they answered, As thou art, so were they; one was in form like that of the children of a king.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:8:19 @ And he said, They were my brothers, the sons of my mother; as the Lord liveth, if ye had spared them alive, I would not slay you.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:8:20 @ And he said unto Yether his firstborn, Rise up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword; for he was afraid, because he was yet a youth.
sf_leeser_rev1@Judges:8:21 @ Then said Zebach and Zalmunna, Rise thou, and fall upon us; for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gidon arose, and slew Zebach and Zalmunna; and he took away the crescent ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.
