Judges 8:10–21

¹⁰Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of ^mall the hosts of ⁿthe children of the east: for there fell ^||an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword. ¹¹And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of ^oNobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host: for the host was ^psecure. ¹²And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and ^qtook the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and ^†discomfited all the host.

¹³And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up, ¹⁴And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he ^†described unto him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, even threescore and seventeen men. ¹⁵And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye did upbraid me, saying, ^rAre the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thy men that are weary? ^16rAnd he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he ^†taught the men of Succoth. ^17sAnd he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city. ¹⁸Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at ^tTabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one ^†resembled the children of a king. ¹⁹And he said, They were my brethren, even the sons of my mother: ^uas the Lord liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you. ²⁰And he said unto Jether his firstborn, Up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth. ²¹Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and ^vslew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ^||ornaments that were on their camels’ necks.
