Judges 8:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ And Zebee and Salmana said: Do thou rise, and run upon us: because the strength of a man is according to his age: Gedeon rose up and slew Zebee and Salmana: and he took the ornaments and bosses, with which the necks of the camels of kings are wont to be adorned.

²² And all the men of Israel said to Gedeon: Rule thou over us and thy son, and thy son's son: because thou hast delivered us from the hand of Madian.

²³ And he said to them: I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you, but the Lord shall rule over you.
