Judges 8:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ Gideon and the three hundred men with him came to and crossed over the Jordan, exhausted, but still in pursuit. ⁵ He said to the men of Succoth, “Give some bread to the men who are with me, for they are weary, and I am chasing after Zebah and Zal-munna, the kings of Midian.” ⁶ The princes of Succoth asked, “Do you already have the hands^[a] of Zebah and Zalmunna in your possession? Why should we give bread to your soldiers?”
