Judges 8:1-17

8:1

And the men
<0376>

of Ephraim
<0669>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Why hast thou
<04100>

served
<06213> (8804)

us thus
<01697>_,

that thou calledst
<07121> (8800)

us not, when thou wentest
<01980> (8804)

to fight
<03898> (8736)

with the Midianites
<04080>_?

And they did chide
<07378> (8799)

with him sharply
<02394>_.

{Why...: Heb. What thing is this thou hast done unto us} {sharply: Heb. strongly}

8:2

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, What have I done
<06213> (8804)

now in comparison of you? [Is] not the gleaning
<05955>

of the grapes of Ephraim
<0669>

better
<02896>

than the vintage
<01210>

of Abiezer
<044>_?

8:3

God
<0430>

hath delivered
<05414> (8804)

into your hands
<03027>

the princes
<08269>

of Midian
<04080>_,

Oreb
<06159>

and Zeeb
<02062>_:

and what was I able
<03201> (8804)

to do
<06213> (8800)

in comparison of you? Then their anger
<07307>

was abated
<07503> (8804)

toward him, when he had said
<01697>

that
<01696> (8763)_.

{anger: Heb. spirit}

8:4

And Gideon
<01439>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Jordan
<03383>_,

[and] passed over
<05674> (8802)_,

he, and the three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

that [were] with him, faint
<05889>_,

yet pursuing
<07291> (8802)

[them].

8:5

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto the men
<0582>

of Succoth
<05523>_,

Give
<05414> (8798)_,

I pray you, loaves
<03603>

of bread
<03899>

unto the people
<05971>

that follow
<07272>

me; for they [be] faint
<05889>_,

and I am pursuing
<07291> (8802)

after
<0310>

Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>_,

kings
<04428>

of Midian
<04080>_.

8:6

And the princes
<08269>

of Succoth
<05523>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Are] the hands
<03709>

of Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>

now in thine hand
<03027>_,

that we should give
<05414> (8799)

bread
<03899>

unto thine army
<06635>_?

8:7

And Gideon
<01439>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Therefore when the LORD
<03068>

hath delivered
<05414> (8800)

Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>

into mine hand
<03027>_,

then I will tear
<01758> (8804)

your flesh
<01320>

with the thorns
<06975>

of the wilderness
<04057>

and with briers
<01303>_.

{tear: Heb. thresh}

8:8

And he went up
<05927> (8799)

thence to Penuel
<06439>_,

and spake
<01696> (8762)

unto them likewise
<02063>_:

and the men
<0582>

of Penuel
<06439>

answered
<06030> (8799)

him as the men
<0582>

of Succoth
<05523>

had answered
<06030> (8804)

[him].

8:9

And he spake
<0559> (8799)

also unto the men
<0582>

of Penuel
<06439>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

When I come again
<07725> (8800)

in peace
<07965>_,

I will break down
<05422> (8799)

this tower
<04026>_.

8:10

Now Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>

[were] in Karkor
<07174>_,

and their hosts
<04264>

with them, about fifteen
<02568> <06240>

thousand
<0505>

[men], all that were left
<03498> (8737)

of all the hosts
<04264>

of the children
<01121>

of the east
<06924>_:

for there fell
<05307> (8802)

an hundred
<03967>

and twenty
<06242>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

that drew
<08025> (8802)

sword
<02719>_.

{men that...: or, every one drawing a sword}

8:11

And Gideon
<01439>

went up
<05927> (8799)

by the way
<01870>

of them that dwelt
<07931> (8803)

in tents
<0168>

on the east
<06924>

of Nobah
<05025>

and Jogbehah
<03011>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

the host
<04264>_:

for the host
<04264>

was secure
<0983>_.

8:12

And when Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>

fled
<05127> (8799)_,

he pursued
<07291> (8799)

after
<0310>

them, and took
<03920> (8799)

the two
<08147>

kings
<04428>

of Midian
<04080>_,

Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>_,

and discomfited
<02729> (8689)

all the host
<04264>_.

{discomfited: Heb. terrified}

8:13

And Gideon
<01439>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>

returned
<07725> (8799)

from battle
<04421>

before
<04608>

the sun
<02775>

[was up],

8:14

And caught
<03920> (8799)

a young man
<05288>

of the men
<0582>

of Succoth
<05523>_,

and enquired
<07592> (8799)

of him: and he described
<03789> (8799)

unto him the princes
<08269>

of Succoth
<05523>_,

and the elders
<02205>

thereof, [even] threescore and seventeen
<07657> <07651>

men
<0376>_.

{described: Heb. writ}

8:15

And he came
<0935> (8799)

unto the men
<0582>

of Succoth
<05523>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>_,

with whom ye did upbraid
<02778> (8765)

me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

[Are] the hands
<03709>

of Zebah
<02078>

and Zalmunna
<06759>

now in thine hand
<03027>_,

that we should give
<05414> (8799)

bread
<03899>

unto thy men
<0582>

[that are] weary
<03287>_?

8:16

And he took
<03947> (8799)

the elders
<02205>

of the city
<05892>_,

and thorns
<06975>

of the wilderness
<04057>

and briers
<01303>_,

and with them he taught
<03045> (8686)

the men
<0582>

of Succoth
<05523>_.

{taught: Heb. made to know}

8:17

And he beat down
<05422> (8804)

the tower
<04026>

of Penuel
<06439>_,

and slew
<02026> (8799)

the men
<0582>

of the city
<05892>_.
