Judges 8:6-7, 16-17

But the leaders of Succoth replied, “Why should we give any food to your army? You haven’t even captured Zebah and Zalmunna yet.” So Gideon said, “All right! Since you won’t help me, when YAHWEH has handed them over to me, I’ll whip you with thorns and briars from the desert!”

As he had promised, Gideon took desert thorns and briars and whipped the leaders of Succoth. As for Penuel, Gideon tore down its tower and killed the men of that city.
