Judges 8:22 in Context — Judges 8

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.

23 Mas Gideão respondeu: Não serei senhor sobre vós, nem meu filho vos dominará: o SENHOR será vosso Senhor.

24 E disse-lhes Gideão: Desejo fazer-vos uma petição, que cada um me dê os pendentes de seu despojo. (Porque traziam pendentes de ouro, que eram ismaelitas.)
