As Gideon and his 300 came to the Jordan river and crossed it, they were exhausted from the pursuit. They asked the men of Succoth for bread, but they were refused since they hadn't yet captured the kings of Midian. When Gideon captured the kings, he came back to Succoth and punished them for not helping him. He then found out the kings had earlier put his brothers to death, and so had them killed. | As Gideon and his 300 came to the Jordan river and crossed it, they were exhausted from the pursuit.
