18 He said to Zebah and Zalmunna, |Describe for me the men you killed at Tabor.| They said, |They were like you. Each one looked like a king's son.| 19 He said, |They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. I swear, as surely as the LORD is alive, if you had let them live, I would not kill you.| 20 He ordered Jether his firstborn son, |Come on! Kill them!| But Jether was too afraid to draw his sword, because he was still young. 21 Zebah and Zalmunna said to Gideon, |Come on, you strike us, for a man is judged by his strength.| So Gideon killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and he took the crescent-shaped ornaments which were on the necks of their camels.
