Judges 8:15-21 - Gideon Punishes Succoth
15 Then Gideon went to the men of Sukkoth and said: Remember when you refused to help me? You said that you could not give any food to my exhausted army because I had not captured Zebah and Zalmunna yet. Well, here they are! 16 Then he took the elders of the town and had them crushed on a bed of thorns and sharp stems. 17 He tore down the tower at Penuel. He also killed the men of that city.
18 Then Gideon asked Zebah and Zalmunna: What kind of men were the men you killed at Tabor? They answered: They looked like you, every one of them like the son of a king.
19 He said: They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. As Jehovah lives, if you had saved them alive, I will not kill you. 20 He said to Jether his firstborn: Rise up and kill them. But the youth would not draw his sword. He was afraid because he was still a youth.
21 Zebah and Zalmunna said to Gideon: Kill us yourself. It takes a man to do this job. Gideon killed them and took the ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.
