Albert Barnes Commentary Judges 8:5

"And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they are faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian." — Judges 8:5 (ASV)

Succoth was in the tribe of Gad, which was entirely trans-Jordanic (Joshua 13:27); and the ruins are at Sukkot, on the east of Jordan, a little south of Bethshan.

Give, I pray you, etc. – Gideon might fairly expect so much aid from the trans-Jordanic tribes, and from so considerable a town as Succoth (Judges 8:14).
