Judges 8:19-21

Living Bible

¹⁹ “They must have been my brothers!” Gideon exclaimed. “I swear that if you hadn’t killed them I wouldn’t kill you.”

²⁰ Then, turning to Jether, his oldest son, he instructed him to kill them. But the boy was only a lad and was afraid to.

²¹ Then Zebah and Zalmunna said to Gideon, “You do it; we’d rather be killed by a man!”^[a] So Gideon killed them and took the ornaments from their camels’ necks.
