Judges 8:21
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. 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.
This moment belongs to the account of Gideon's victory over Midian and Israel's deliverance from its enemies and from Midianite oppression. It records the defeat and slaying of the Midianite kings Zebah and Zalmunna as part of the deliverance God raised Gideon to accomplish. It illustrates how God raised up faithful, valiant leaders to put down idolatry and rescue His people. It stands within a recurring pattern in which, after a deliverer died, the people often returned to idolatry.
