Gideon: Avenges Himself Upon the People of Succoth Judges 8:14–17

There he captured a young man of Succoth and interrogated him. The young man wrote down for him the names of the seventy-seven leaders and elders of Succoth. / 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?’” / Then he took the elders of the city, and using the thorns and briers of the wilderness, he disciplined the men of Succoth.
