Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁵ He said to the men of Succoth,^(A) ‘Please give some loaves of bread to the troops under my command,^[a] because they are exhausted, for I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.’

⁶ But the princes of Succoth asked, ‘Are Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hands that we should give bread to your army? ’

⁷ Gideon replied, ‘Very well, when the Lord has handed Zebah and Zalmunna over to me, I will tear^[b] your flesh with thorns and briars from the wilderness! ’
