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, 1whom therefore they called a king, because they saw him bear dominion in the host. Hereby is gathered that Gideon was exceeding beautiful. But when his brethren were killed, we can not find by the holy History. But it might be, that they committed this act now when they came to make this war, or else before when every year they invaded the land of the Israelites in the time of harvest. Of mount Thabor we have before spoken, when we entreated of the victory of Barak and Deborah.
Nowe is set forth the punishement of these two kynges of Madian, whiche Gideon had therefore saued on lyue, to shewe them vnto those Israelites, whom he had determined to punishe, when he had obtayned the victory. Firste he asketh them, what manner of men they were, whom they slewe in mount Thabor. They aunswered that they were like hym, and so comely and beautiful, that they myght appeare to be the chyldren of a kyng. And that maye also be vnderstande of one of them, when as it is sayde Echad: we maye also vnderstande it of euery one of them. There are some also which thynke that those that were slayne were in semblance and beauty lykened vnto the children of Gideon, 1whome therefore they called a kynge, bycause they sawe hym beare dominion in the hoste. Hereby is gathered that Gideon was excedyng beautifull. But when hys brethrē were kylled, we can not finde by the holy History. But it myght be, that they committed thys acte nowe when they came to make thys warre, or els before when euery yeare they inuaded the lande of the Israelites in the tyme of haruest. Of mount Thabor we haue before spoken, when we entreated of the victory of Barak and Deborah.
