Judges 8:20
It was Gideon' s place to act the part of the "avenger of blood" Numbers 35:12; Deuteronomy 19:6. The fierce manners of the age break out in the slaying of the captives (compare I Samuel 15:32-33), and in Gideon' s attempt to initiate his youthful son Jether in the stern work of slaying his country' s enemies.
