14 E tomou um jovem dos de Sucote, e perguntando-lhe, ele lhe deu por escrito os principais de Sucote e seus anciãos, setenta e sete homens.

15 E entrando aos de Sucote, disse: Eis aqui a Zeba e a Zalmuna, sobre os quais me escarnecestes, dizendo: Está já a mão de Zeba e de Zalmuna em tua mão, para que demos nós pão a teus homens cansados?

16 E tomou aos anciãos da cidade, e espinhos e cardos do deserto, e castigou com eles aos de Sucote.

17 Também derrubou a torre de Peniel, e matou aos da cidade.
