Gideon gives all the glory to God - but it doesn't end here

Judges 8:4 And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.

5 And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.--

Gideon and his men were still in pursuit of the kings of median, and by the time they reached Jordan were weak from hunger.

He asked the men who were there for sustenance and they refused...

The princes of Succoth refused to give them food, because they were yet to have captured Zebah and Zalmunna...

This angered Gideon and he told them - when God does deliver them you will be cursed...

---

Judges 8:6 And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?

7 And Gideon said, Therefore when the Lord hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.

He had the same response when he approached the men of Penuel:

---

8 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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77420931


Therefore, he had harsh words for them also:

9 And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75509265


So, Gideon and his men defeated Zebah and Zalmunna's army & pursued Zebah and Zalmunna when they fled:

---

Judges 8:0 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the hosts of the children of the east: for there fell an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.

11 And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host; for the host was secure.
