And Gideon son of Joash returned from the battle, - from the ascent of Heres;

and caught a young man, of the men of Succoth, and enquired of him, - so he wrote down for him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, seventy-seven men.

Then came he in unto the men of Succoth, and said, Lo! Zebah and Zalmunna, - concerning whom ye did taunt me, saying - Are the palms of the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in thy power, that we should give to thy weary men bread?

So he took the elders of the city, and the thorns of the wilderness and the nettles, and taught therewith the men of Succoth:

the tower of Penuel also, brake he down, - and slew the men of the city.
