Judges 8:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁴ He caught a young man who came from Succoth. He asked him about the leaders of Succoth. The young man wrote down the names of 77 leaders and officers of the city. ¹⁵ Gideon went to Succoth with Zebah and Zalmunna. He said to the leaders, ‘Now I have brought these kings to you! You insulted me! You said, “We will not give your tired men any food until you have caught Zebah and Zalmunna.” ’

¹⁶ Then Gideon took hold of Succoth's leaders. He beat them with thorn branches to punish them.
