Judges 8
15 And Gideon went to the men of Succoth and said, “Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you taunted me, saying, ‘Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your possession, that we should give bread to your weary men?’”
16 Then he took the elders of the city, and using the thorns and briers of the wilderness, he disciplined the men of Succoth.
17 He also pulled down the tower of Penuel and killed the men of the city.
