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 Allí Gedeón dijo a la gente de Sucot:—Denles pan a mis soldados; están agotados y todavía estoy persiguiendo a Zeba y a Zalmuna, los reyes de Madián.
6 Pero los jefes de Sucot le respondieron:—¿Acaso tienes ya en tu poder las manos de Zeba y Zalmuna? ¿Por qué tendríamos que darle pan a tu ejército?
7 Gedeón contestó:—¡Está bien! Cuando el SEÑOR haya entregado en mis manos a Zeba y a Zalmuna, les desgarraré a ustedes la carne con espinas y zarzas del desierto.
8 Desde allí subió a Peniel y les pidió lo mismo. Pero los de Peniel le dieron la misma respuesta que los hombres de Sucot.
9 Por eso les advirtió a los hombres de Peniel: «Cuando yo vuelva victorioso, derribaré esta torre».
