07:008:012 And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and
           took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and
           discomfited all the host.

07:008:013 And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the
           sun was up,

07:008:014 And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and enquired of
           him:  and he described unto him the princes of Succoth, and the
           elders thereof, even threescore and seventeen men.

07:008:015 And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah
           and Zalmunna, with whom ye did upbraid me, saying, Are the
           hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should
           give bread unto thy men that are weary?

07:008:016 And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the
           wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of
           Succoth.

07:008:017 And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the
           city.

07:008:018 Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were
           they whom ye slew at Tabor?  And they answered, As thou art, so
           were they; each one resembled the children of a king.

07:008:019 And he said, They were my brethren, even the sons of my
           mother:  as the lord liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I
           would not slay you.

07:008:020 And he said unto Jether his firstborn, Up, and slay them.  But
           the youth drew not his sword:  for he feared, because he was
           yet a youth.

07:008:021 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us:  for
           as the man is, so is his strength.  And Gideon arose, and slew
           Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that were on
           their camels’ necks.

07:008:022 Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us,
           both thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son also:  for thou hast
           delivered us from the hand of Midian.

07:008:023 And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither
           shall my son rule over you:  the lord shall rule over you.

07:008:024 And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you,
           that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey. (For
           they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)

07:008:025 And they answered, We will willingly give them.  And they
           spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings
           of his prey.

07:008:026 And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a
           thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments,
           and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of
           Midian, and beside the chains that were about their camels’
           necks.
