Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Rise yourself and fall upon us, for as the man is, so is his strength.” And Gideon arose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and he took the crescent ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
In that day the Lord will take away the finery of the anklets, the headbands, and the crescents;
And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was 1,700 shekels of gold, besides the crescent ornaments and the pendants and the purple garments worn by the kings of Midian, and besides the collars that were around the necks of their camels.
And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.
A Song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, do not keep silence; do not hold your peace or be still, O God!
And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died with him.
The battle pressed hard against Saul, and the archers found him, and he was badly wounded by the archers.
Then he called quickly to the young man his armor-bearer and said to him, “Draw your sword and kill me, lest they say of me, ‘A woman killed him.’” And his young man thrust him through, and he died.
