Judges 8:20-21
New English Translation

20 He ordered Jether his firstborn son, “Come on![a] Kill them!” But Jether was too afraid to draw his sword,[b] because he was still young. 21 Zebah and Zalmunna said to Gideon,[c] “Come on,[d] you strike us, for a man is judged by his strength.”[e] So Gideon killed[f] Zebah and Zalmunna, and he took the crescent-shaped ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.
