Judges 8:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ He said, “They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. I swear to God, if you had spared them, I would not kill you.”

²⁰ Then he said to Jether,^[a] his firstborn, “Stand up, kill them.” But the young man did not draw his sword because he was afraid; he was still quite young. ²¹ Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Get up yourself and fall upon us! It takes the courage of a man.” So Gideon stood up and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and he took the ornaments off the necks of their camels.
