Hakim-hakim 8:21

8:21 Zebah and Zalmunna said to Gideon, ¹  “Come on, ²  you strike us, for a man is judged by his strength.” ³  So Gideon killed ⁴  Zebah and Zalmunna, and he took the crescent-shaped ornaments which were on the necks of their camels.

Hakim-hakim 15:12

15:12 They said to him, “We have come down to take you prisoner so we can hand you over to the Philistines.” Samson said to them, “Promise me ⁵  you will not kill ⁶  me.”

[8:21]  ¹ tn The words “to Gideon” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[8:21]  ² tn Or “Arise.”

[8:21]  ³ tn Heb “for as the man is his strength.”

[8:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “arose and killed.”

[15:12]  ⁵ tn Or “swear to me.”

[15:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “meet [with hostility]”; “harm.” In light of v. 13, “kill” is an appropriate translation.
