⁴ Gideon came to the Jordan, [and] passed over, he, and the three hundred men who were with him, faint, yet pursuing.

⁵ He said to the men of Succoth, Please give loaves of bread to the people who follow me; for they are faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.

⁶ The princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give bread to your army?

⁷ Gideon said, Therefore when Yahweh has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.

⁸ He went up there to Penuel, and spoke to them in like manner; and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.

²¹ If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; If he is thirsty, give him water to drink:

³ Give counsel, execute justice; make your shade as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; don't betray the fugitive.

⁴ Let my outcasts dwell with you; as for Moab, be a covert to him from the face of the destroyer. For the extortioner is brought to nothing, destruction ceases, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.

²⁰ Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head."

⁹ Be hospitable one to another without grumbling.
