Judges 8:6 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand— This was an insulting irreligious taunt, which shewed at once that these persons believed not the divine interposition in behalf of Gideon, and, at the same time, were enemies to the true religion; no wonder, therefore, that Gideon replies to them with great severity, and afterwards inflicts upon them the punishment which they deserve. See note on Judges 8:16.
