After a long parenthesis the history returneth unto the just order of the thing that was done, and declareth in what sort the end of the battle was. When the Midianites and they of the East had wounded themselves one an other, and a few of them which remained, fled away: Gideon pursued after them, & passed over Jordan. And because he had laboured all the night, and saw that his three hundred men were weary, he would somewhat refresh them. Therefore he required meat of the city of Succoth for his fellow soldiers.1 And Succoth lieth beyond Jordan in the tribe of Gad. Jacob builded it, when he departed from saluting his brother Esau. Which I therefore speak, because there is an other place which is likewise called Succoth, but it belongeth unto Egypt, and is numbered among the first mention places of the children of Israel.

When the Madianites and they of the Easte had wounded themselues one an other, and a few of them whiche remayned, fled away: Gideon pursued after them, & passed ouer Iordane. And bycause he had laboured all the night, and sawe that his thre hundreth men were weary, he would somwhat refresh them. Therfore he required meat of ye city of Succoth for his fellow souldiers.1 And Succoth lyeth beyond Iordane in the tribe of Gad. Iacob builded it, when he departed from saluting his brother Esau. Whiche I therfore speake, bycause there is an other place which is likewyse called Succoth, but it belongeth vnto Egypt, and is numbred among the first mention places of the children of Israell.
- 1Two Succoths.
Gideon desireth that he might have given him Kichroth, that is round pieces of bread for his weary soldiers. Undoubtedly, if he had required great plenty of bread or meat generally, they of Succoth might after a sort have ben excused. But by name he desired only bread. Wherefore they which would not do that, can not but be condemned of great inhumanity.
