Judges 8:20 in Context — Judges 8
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!
20 E disse a Jéter seu primogênito: Levanta-te, e mata-os. Mas o jovem não desembainhou sua espada, porque tinha medo; que ainda era jovem.
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.
22 E os israelitas disseram a Gideão: Sê nosso senhor, tu, e teu filho, e teu neto; pois que nos livraste da mão de Midiã.
