8:18 OSHB note: Marks a place where we agree with BHQ against BHS in reading L.

8:18 OSHB note: Marks an anomalous form.

8:18 OSHB note: We read one or more vowels in L differently from BHS.

OET (OET-RV) Then Gideon asked Zebah and Zalmunna, “What were the men like that you killed at Tabor?”
¶ “They were just like you,” they replied. “They seemed like they could have been a king’s sons.”

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

אֵיפֹה֙ הָ⁠אֲנָשִׁ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֲרַגְתֶּ֖ם בְּ⁠תָב֑וֹר

what_kind [are]_the,men which/who killed at,Tabor

Gideon’s question relates to something that the author has not narrated as part of this story. The author has also not related it as background information. So readers must infer what happened. It appears that at some point, probably before Yahweh called Gideon to lead an army against the Midianites, their soldiers came into Israel and murdered some of Gideon’s brothers. Because these forces were under the command or authority of Zebah and Zalmunna, Gideon is going to hold them accountable for his brothers’ deaths. You can indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Now some time ago your forces killed some men at Tabor. You need to answer for that]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

אֵיפֹה֙ הָ⁠אֲנָשִׁ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֲרַגְתֶּ֖ם בְּ⁠תָב֑וֹר

what_kind [are]_the,men which/who killed at,Tabor

This could mean: (1) that Gideon is asking for information. He wants to verify the identity of the men whom these kings killed. Alternate translation: [What did the men look like whom you killed at Tabor?] (2) that Gideon is using the question form to announce that he is going to hold Zebah and Zalmunna accountable for the deaths of his brothers. This question seems to have had that significance in this culture. For example, for the same purpose, God says to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” ([Genesis 4:9](../gen/04/09.md)). Alternate translation: [I am going to hold you accountable for the men whom you killed at Tabor]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כָּמ֣וֹ⁠ךָ כְמוֹ⁠הֶ֔ם אֶחָ֕ד כְּ⁠תֹ֖אַר בְּנֵ֥י הַ⁠מֶּֽלֶךְ

like,you like,them one(ms) [was]_like,the_appearance_of sons_of of,the_king

Zebah and Zalmunna could be: (1) saying implicitly that they killed these men because they were of regal bearing and so they perceived them to be a potential threat. As Israelites of strength and influence, they could have led resistance to the Midianites. Alternate translation: [They were of regal bearing, just like you, and we killed them because we perceived them as a threat] (2) answering Gideon’s question by providing information. Alternate translation: [They looked just like you. Each one of them looked like a prince]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּנֵ֥י הַ⁠מֶּֽלֶךְ

sons_of of,the_king

By the expression the king, Zebah and Zalmunna could mean: (1) a person of regal bearing and presence in general. Alternate translation: [the sons of a king] (2) Gideon himself. They may regard him as the “king” of Israel because he has led the Israelite forces into battle. In that case, by the sons of the king, they would be referring to Gideon’s sons, at least one of whom is present, as [8:20](../08/20.md) indicates. Alternate translation: [your sons right there]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

8:18-21 It is not clear just when the slaughter at Tabor took place; it may have occurred during the earlier battle.
