George Leo Haydock, on Judg 8:18

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Judg 8:18 · Douay-Rheims
“And he said to Zebee and Salmana: What manner of men were they whom you slew in Thabor? They answered: They were like thee, and one of them as the son of a king.”
On this verse:
“Thabor. Some of the relations or brothers of Gedeon had retired thither, as to a place of safety; and the latter wished to know what was become of them, that he might redeem them, if alive. (Calmet) — King. They answer with flattery, insinuating that Gedeon had the air of a king. (Menochius)”
