Judges 8:18-21

WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[18] Then said he to Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom you killed at Tabor? They answered, As you are, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king. [19] He said, They were my brothers, the sons of my mother: as Yahweh lives, if you had saved them alive, I would not kill you. [20] He said to Jether his firstborn, Up, and kill them. But the youth didn't draw his sword; for he feared, because he was yet a youth. [21] Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise you, and fall on us; for as the man is, so is his strength. Gideon arose, and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescents that were on their camels' necks.
