Judges 8:16 in Context — Judges 8
14 Il saisit d’entre les gens de Succoth un jeune homme qu’il interrogea, et qui lui mit par écrit les noms des chefs et des anciens de Succoth, soixante-dix-sept hommes.
15 Puis il vint auprès des gens de Succoth, et dit: Voici Zébach et Tsalmunna, au sujet desquels vous m’avez insulté, en disant: La main de Zébach et de Tsalmunna est-elle déjà en ton pouvoir, pour que nous donnions du pain à tes hommes fatigués?
16 Et il prit les anciens de la ville, et châtia les gens de Succoth avec des épines du désert et avec des chardons.
17 Il renversa aussi la tour de Penuel, et tua les gens de la ville.
18 Il dit à Zébach et à Tsalmunna: Comment étaient les hommes que vous avez tués au Thabor? Ils répondirent: Ils étaient comme toi, chacun avait l’air d’un fils de roi.
