And they answered: 'As thou art, so were they; of one form with the children of a king.' 19 And he said: 'They were my brethren, the sons of my mother; as the LORD liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you.' 20 And he said unto Jether his first-born: 'Up, and slay them.'

And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescents that were on their camels' necks. Judges 8:18-21, JPS Tanakh 1917. Public domain.
