And they aunswered: The lykenesse of thee and them is al one, eue after the fashion of the children of a kyng. 19 And he sayd, They were my brethren, euen my mothers children: As truly as the Lord liueth, if ye had saued their lyues, I would not slay you. 20 And he sayde vnto Iether his eldest sonne, Up and slay them. But the ladde drue not his sworde: for he feared, because he was yet young. 21 Then Zebah and Zalmana sayde: Ryse thou, and fall vpon vs: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gedeon arose, and slue Zebah and Zalmana, and toke away the ornamentes that were on their camels neckes. Judges 8:18-21, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
