15 E entrando aos de Sucote, disse: Eis aqui a Zeba e a Zalmuna, sobre os quais me escarnecestes, dizendo: Está já a mão de Zeba e de Zalmuna em tua mão, para que demos nós pão a teus homens cansados?

16 E tomou aos anciãos da cidade, e espinhos e cardos do deserto, e castigou com eles aos de Sucote.

17 Também derrubou a torre de Peniel, e matou aos da cidade.

18 Logo disse a Zeba e a Zalmuna: Que maneira de homens tinham aqueles que matastes em Tabor? E eles responderam: Como tu, tais eram aqueles nem mais nem menos, que apareciam filhos de rei.

19 E ele disse: Meus irmãos eram, filhos de minha mãe: Vive o SENHOR, que se os tivésseis guardado em vida, eu não vos mataria!
