NASB
"He went up from there to Penuel and spoke similarly to them; and the men of Penuel answered him just as the men of Succoth had answered."
— Judges 8:8, NASB
“And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.”
“And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them in like manner; and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered. ”
“He went up there to Penuel, and spoke to them in the same way; and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.”
“He went up from there to Penuel and made the same request. The men of Penuel responded the same way the men of Succoth had.”
“And going up from thence, he came to Phanuel: and he spoke the like things to the men of that place. And they also answered him, as the men of Soccoth had answered.”
“So he went up from there to Penuel and made the same request to the men of Penuel; but they gave him the same answer as the men of Succoth had given.”
“And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.”
He said to the men of Succoth, "Please give loaves of bread to the people who are following me, for they are weary, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian."
The leaders of Succoth said, "Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your hands, that we should give bread to your army?"
Gideon said, "All right, when the LORD has given Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will thrash your bodies with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers."
He went up from there to Penuel and spoke similarly to them; and the men of Penuel answered him just as the men of Succoth had answered.
So he spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, "When I return safely, I will tear down this tower."
Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their armies with them, about 15,men, all who were left of the entire army of the sons of the east; for the fallen were 120,000 swordsmen.
Gideon went up by the way of those who lived in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and attacked the camp when the camp was unsuspecting.
