Judges 8:18-21

18Then saidH559 he unto ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, WhatH375 manner of menH582 were they whom ye slewH2026 at TaborH8396? And they answeredH559, As thouH3644 art, so were they; each oneH259 resembledH8389 the childrenH1121 of a kingH4428.1 19And he saidH559, They were my brethrenH251, even the sonsH1121 of my motherH517: as YhwhH3068 livethH2416, ifH3863 ye had saved them aliveH2421, I would not slayH2026 you. 20And he saidH559 unto JetherH3500 his firstbornH1060, UpH6965, and slayH2026 them. But the youthH5288 drewH8025 not his swordH2719: for he fearedH3372, because he was yet a youthH5288. 21Then ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 saidH559, RiseH6965 thou, and fallH6293 upon us: for as the manH376 is, so is his strengthH1369. And GideonH1439 aroseH6965, and slewH2026 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, and took awayH3947 the ornamentsH7720 that were on their camels’H1581 necksH6677.2
