Jueces 8:7 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 8:7

And Gideon said
In answer to the princes of Succoth:

therefore when the Lord hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine
hand;
of which he made no doubt, having the promise of God that he would deliver the host of Midian into his hand, on which his faith rested; and having it in great part performed already, most firmly believed the full performance of it, see ( Judges 7:7 Judges 7:9 )

then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness, and with
briers;
which grew in a wilderness near this city, and from whence as Kimchi thinks, it had its name; the word "Succoth" being used for thorns in ( Job 41:7 ) and the sense is, either that he would scourge them with thorns and briers; or, as the Targum thrust their flesh upon them; which Kimchi interprets of casting their naked bodies upon thorns and briers, and then treading on them with the feet; or draw a cart over them as they thus lay, in like manner as it was usual to do when corn was threshed out; see ( Isaiah 28:27 ) .

Jueces 8:7 In-Context

5 Y dijo a los hombres de Sucot: Os ruego que deis pan a la gente que me sigue, porque están cansados, y estoy persiguiendo a Zeba y a Zalmuna, reyes de Madián.
6 Y los jefes de Sucot dijeron: ¿Están ya las manos de Zeba y Zalmuna en tu poder, para que demos pan a tu ejército?
7 Y Gedeón respondió: Muy bien, cuando el SEÑOR haya entregado en mi mano a Zeba y a Zalmuna, trillaré vuestras carnes con espinos del desierto y con abrojos.
8 De allí subió a Peniel, y les habló de la misma manera; y los hombres de Peniel le respondieron tal como los de Sucot le habían contestado.
9 Y habló también a los hombres de Peniel, diciendo: Cuando yo vuelva sano y salvo, derribaré esta torre.
