18 Afterwards, he asked Zebah and Zalmunna, |What were the men like whom you killed at Tabor?| They answered, |Like you, each one like the son of a king...| 19 Gideon replied, |They were my brothers—sons from my own mother. As the LORD lives, if you had let them live, I wouldn't be killing you.| 20 Then he told his firstborn son Jether, |Get up and kill them!| But he was afraid, since he was still only a youngster. 21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna responded, |Get up and attack us yourself, since a man's valor is only as good as the man himself.| So Gideon got up, killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the crescent-shaped necklaces that adorned the necks of their camels.
