Judges 8:18-21

18Then he saidH559 to ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, “WhereH375 were the menH376 whomH834 you killedH2026 at TaborH8396?” But they saidH559, “You and they were alikeH3644, each oneH259 1resemblingH8389 the sonH1121 of a kingH4428.” 19And he saidH559, “They were my brothersH251, the sonsH1121 of my motherH517. As the LordH3068 livesH2416, ifH3863 onlyH3863 you had let them liveH2421, I would not killH2026 you.” 20So he saidH559 to JetherH3500 his firstbornH1060, “RiseH6965, killH2026 them.” But the youthH5288 did not drawH8025 his swordH2719, for he wasH3372 afraidH3372, becauseH3588 he was stillH5750 a youthH5288. 21Then ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 saidH559, “RiseH6965 upH6965 yourselfH859, and attackH6293 us; for as the manH376, so is his strengthH1369.” 2So GideonH1439 aroseH6965 and killedH2026 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, and 3tookH3947 the crescentH7720 amuletsH7720 whichH834 were on their camels’H1581 necksH6677.
