OET (OET-RV) When they arrived at the town of Sukkot, Gideon asked the leaders, “Please give my men some bread to eat because they’re exhausted, but we’re chasing Zebah and Zalmunna, the Midianite kings.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
כִּכְּר֣וֹת לֶ֔חֶם לָעָ֖ם
loaves_of food/grain/bread to_the,people
Gideon asks specifically for loaves of bread because they would have been easy to carry and to eat while pursuing the Midianites. But he may also be using one kind of food to mean the various kinds of food that would provide a good meal to strengthen a soldier. You may wish to indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: [some food to strengthen the people]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
לָעָ֖ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּרַגְלָ֑י
to_the,people which/who in/on/at/with,feet_of,my
See how you translated the similar expression in 4:10. Alternate translation: [to the men who are under my command]
8:4-12 At this point, Gideon seemed as bent on revenge as on victory, and there is an abrupt cessation of his earlier dialogue with the Lord. The core of 300 men made this final run against the Midianites.
• Gideon pursued the fleeing kings of Midian through the Jabbok gorge, then southward toward Rabbah, following the caravan route onto the Transjordan plateau.
• Succoth and Peniel were Israelite cities, but their loyalty to Gideon, an upstart general, was thin. The tribes east of the Jordan were continually exposed to the Midianites’ pressure and apparently feared the Midianites.
