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!

21 Então disse Zeba e Zalmuna: Levanta-te tu, e mata-nos; porque como é o homem, tal é sua valentia. E Gideão se levantou, e matou a Zeba e a Zalmuna; e tomou os adornos de crescentes que seus camelos traziam ao pescoço.
