Judges 8:5 in Context — Judges 8

3 C’est entre vos mains que Dieu a livré les chefs de Madian, Oreb et Zeeb. Qu’ai-je donc pu faire en comparaison de vous? Lorsqu’il eut ainsi parlé, leur colère contre lui s’apaisa.

4 Gédéon arriva au Jourdain, et il le passa, lui et les trois cents hommes qui étaient avec lui, fatigués, mais poursuivant toujours.

5 Il dit aux gens de Succoth: Donnez, je vous prie, quelques pains au peuple qui m’accompagne, car ils sont fatigués, et je suis à la poursuite de Zébach et de Tsalmunna, rois de Madian.

6 Les chefs de Succoth répondirent: La main de Zébach et de Tsalmunna est-elle déjà en ton pouvoir, pour que nous donnions du pain à ton armée?

7 Et Gédéon dit: Eh bien! Lorsque l’Éternel aura livré entre mes mains Zébach et Tsalmunna, je broierai votre chair avec des épines du désert et avec des chardons.
