Judges 8:18-21

English Standard Version

¹⁸ Then he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, “Where are the men whom you killed at ^(A)Tabor?” They answered, “As you are, so were they. Every one of them resembled the son of a king.” ¹⁹ And he said, “They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. ^(B)As the Lord lives, if you had saved them alive, I would not kill you.” ²⁰ So he said to Jether his firstborn, “Rise and kill them!” But the young man did not draw his sword, for he was afraid, because he was still a young man. ²¹ Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Rise yourself and fall upon us, for as the man is, so is his strength.” And Gideon arose and ^(C)killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and he took ^(D)the crescent ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.
