Judges 8:9 in Context — Judges 8

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.

8 De là il monta à Penuel, et il fit aux gens de Penuel la même demande. Ils lui répondirent comme avaient répondu ceux de Succoth.

9 Et il dit aussi aux gens de Penuel: Quand je reviendrai en paix, je renverserai cette tour.

10 Zébach et Tsalmunna étaient à Karkor et leur armée avec eux, environ quinze mille hommes, tous ceux qui étaient restés de l’armée entière des fils de l’Orient; cent vingt mille hommes tirant l’épée avaient été tués.

11 Gédéon monta par le chemin de ceux qui habitent sous les tentes, à l’orient de Nobach et de Jogbeha, et il battit l’armée qui se croyait en sûreté.
