Vers. 18. Then said he to Zeba and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew as Tabor? And they answered, As thou art so were they: every one was like the children of a King. 19. And he said, They were my brethren, even my mothers children: As the Lord liveth, if ye had saved their lives, I would not slay you. 20. Then he said to Jether his first borne son, Up, and slay them: but the boy drew not his sword, for he feared; because he was yet but young. 21. Then Zeba and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us: for as the man is, so is his strength: And Gideon arose, and slew Zeba and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that were on their Camels necks.
