12 And Zebach and Zalmunna’ fled; but he pursued after them, and captured the two kings of Midian, Zebach and Zalmunna’, and all the camp he discomfited.
13 And Gid’on the son of Joash returned from the battle before the rising of the sun,
14 And he caught a young man of the people of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he wrote down for him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, seventy and seven men.
15 And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold here are Zebach and Zalmunna’, with whom ye derided me, saying, Is the sole of the foot of Zebach and Zalmunna’ now already in thy hand, that we should give unto thy weary men bread?
16 And he took the elders of the city, and the thorns of the wilderness and briers, and chastised with them the men of Succoth.
17 And the tower of Penuel he beat down, and slew the men of the city.
18 And he said unto Zebach and Zalmunna’, What kind of men were those whom ye slew at Tabor! And they answered, As thou art, so were they; one was in form like that of the children of a king.
19 And he said, They were my brothers, the sons of my mother; as the Lord liveth, if ye had spared them alive, I would not slay you.
20 And he said unto Yether his first-born, Rise up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword; for he was afraid, because he was yet a youth.
21 Then said Zebach and Zalmunna’, Rise thou, and fall upon us; for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gid’on arose, and slew Zebach and Zalmunna’; and he took away the crescent ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.
