18 He asked Zebah and Zalmunna, |What kind of men did you kill at Tabor?| They answered, |They were like you. Each one looked like a king's son.| 19 Gideon replied, |They were my brothers, my mother's sons. I solemnly swear, as the LORD lives, if you had let them live, I would not have to kill you now.| 20 Then he told Jether, his firstborn son, |Get up and kill them!| But Jether didn't draw his sword. He was afraid because he was only a young man. 21 Zebah and Zalmunna said, |Get up and do it yourself! It's a man's job!| So Gideon got up and killed them. Then he took the half-moon ornaments that were on their camels' necks. Judges 8:18-21, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
