Then said he unto Zebah and unto Zalmunna, What manner of men were they, whom ye slew at Tabor? And they said, As thou art, so were they, each one, as handsome as the sons of a king.

And Gideon said unto them, I, will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you, - Yahweh, shall rule over you.
