Judges 8:21 DBY

¹⁹  And he said, 'They were my brothers, the sons of my mother; as the LORD lives, if you had saved them alive, I would not slay you.'

²⁰  And he said to Jether his first-born, 'Rise, and slay them.' But the youth did not draw his sword; for he was afraid, because he was still a youth.

²¹  Then Zebah and Zalmun'na said, 'Rise yourself, and fall upon us; for as the man is, so is his strength.' And Gideon arose and slew Zebah and Zalmun'na; and he took the crescents that were on the necks of their camels.

²²  Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, 'Rule over us, you and your son and your grandson also; for you have delivered us out of the hand of Mid'ian.'

²³  Gideon said to them, 'I will not rule over you, and my son will not rule over you; the LORD will rule over you.'
