Judges 8:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 Then he said unto Jether his firstborn son, Up, and slay them: but the boy drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet young.
21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou and fall upon us: for [a]as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the [b]ornaments, that were on their camels’ necks.
22 ¶ Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Reign thou over us, both thou, and thy son and thy [c]son’s son: for thou hast delivered us out of the hand of Midian.
