Judges 8:3-5

Living Bible

^2-3 But Gideon replied, “God let you capture Oreb and Zeeb, the generals of the army of Midian! What have I done in comparison with that? Your actions at the end of the battle were more important than ours at the beginning!”^[a] So they calmed down.

⁴ Gideon now crossed the Jordan River with his three hundred men. They were very tired, but still chasing the enemy. ⁵ He asked the men of Succoth for food. “We are weary from chasing after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian,” he said.
