Gideon having his son Jether, who was still a young man, kill Zeba and Zalmunna was in some way a symbolic action, but interpreters are not entirely sure what it would have meant. See the General Notes to this chapter for a discussion of the possibilities and for suggestions of how to translate what Gideon told Jether.

rise
Gideon is using the expression Arise to tell Jether to take action. He is not telling him to get up from a seated position. Alternate translation: “Go ahead”
