Judges 8:18-20

Living Bible

¹⁸ Then Gideon asked King Zebah and King Zalmunna, “The men you killed at Tabor—what were they like?”

They replied, “They were dressed just like you—like sons of kings!”

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.
