Teach Boys to Murder

“They were my brothers!”  Gideon exclaimed. “As surely as the LORD lives, I wouldn’t kill you if you hadn’t killed them.”  Turning to Jether, his oldest son, he said, “Kill them!”  But Jether did not draw his sword, for he was only a boy and was afraid.  Then Zebah and Zalmunna said to Gideon, “Don’t ask a boy to do a man’s job!  Do it yourself!”  So Gideon killed them both and took the royal ornaments from the necks of their camels.  (Judges 8:19-21 NLT)
