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. 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. Gideon caught up with Nebah and Jogbehah - ending the battle once and for all. ----- Judges 8:12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host. Timely article: The Wimp Who Became a Warrior Small excerpt: When God chose Gideon to deliver Israel from the Midianites, he made excuses—“Oh my Lord, how shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house” (Jgs. 6:15, KJV). Manasseh was the smallest of Israel’s twelve tribes, and Gideon had a serious inferiority complex. He complained, “I am a nobody going nowhere.” Remember, God likes to take nobodies and make somebodies out of them so He can get all the glory. Gideon asked for a sign to confirm God was truly calling him to lead Israel. The angel caused supernatural fire to flare out of a rock and consume his sacrifice (Jgs. 6:17-22). Confirmation granted..... The angel declared, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor” (Jgs. 6:12, NKJV). The NLT calls him a “mighty hero” while the NET says, “courageous warrior.” Even though his name means “great warrior,” Gideon didn’t look like a hero as he cowered in fear, hiding from the enemy. He acted more like a cowardly wimp than a courageous warrior. Who could blame him with Midianite assassins lurking around every corner? God saw his potential and overlooked his present state. God doesn’t see us as we are; He sees us as we can be if we yield to His will. God turned this whiner into a winner and changed Gideon’s perspective. He accused God of forsaking Israel when it was actually the other way around (Jgs. 6:13).... [ link to www.raptureforums.com (secure)]
