And he said unto Jether his firstborn, Up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 8 of Judges. Gideon returns victorious and punishes Succoth and Peniel for their refusal, while also executing Zebah and Zalmunna. The narrative becomes darker: the deliverer who had reduced his army to prevent himself from taking the glory begins exercising severe authority over his own countrymen. The episode reveals that military deliverance does not automatically eliminate ambition, resentment, and internal conflict.
