“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.”
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 young man — Gideon commands his eldest son to execute the kings, but Jether hesitates. Fear and psychological weight prevent the act. Generational difference shows: the son will not inherit the father's capacity for violence.
