Judges 8:20 in Context — Judges 8
18 Il dit à Zébach et à Tsalmunna: Comment étaient les hommes que vous avez tués au Thabor? Ils répondirent: Ils étaient comme toi, chacun avait l’air d’un fils de roi.
19 Il dit: C’étaient mes frères, fils de ma mère. L’Éternel est vivant! Si vous les eussiez laissés vivre, je ne vous tuerais pas.
20 Et il dit à Jéther, son premier-né: Lève-toi, tue-les! Mais le jeune homme ne tira point son épée, parce qu’il avait peur, car il était encore un enfant.
21 Zébach et Tsalmunna dirent: Lève-toi toi-même, et tue-nous! Car tel est l’homme, telle est sa force. Et Gédéon se leva, et tua Zébach et Tsalmunna. Il prit ensuite les croissants qui étaient aux cous de leurs chameaux.
22 Les hommes d’Israël dirent à Gédéon: Domine sur nous, et toi, et ton fils, et le fils de ton fils, car tu nous as délivrés de la main de Madian.
