18 Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmonah, What manner of men were they, whom ye slew at Thabor? 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 unto Jether his first borne son, Up and slay them. But the boy drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a child. 21 And Zebah and Zalmonah said, Rise thou, and fall upon us, for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and zalmonah, and took away the ornaments, that were on the camels necks.

Now is set forth the punishment of these two kings of Midian, which Gideon had therefore saved on live, to show them unto those Israelites, whom he had determined to punish, when he had obtained the victory. First he asketh them, what manner of men they were, whom they slew in mount Thabor. They answered that they were like him, and so comely and beautiful, that they might appear to be the children of a king. And that may also be understand of one of them, when as it is said Echad: we may also understand it of every one of them. There are some also which think that those that were slain were in semblance and beauty likened unto the children of Gideon,
