Zebah and Zalmunna

Judges 8:21 - Zebah and Zalmunna said, "Come, do it yourself. 'As is the man, so is his strength.' " So Gideon stepped forward and killed them, and took the ornaments off their camels' necks.

Was that really a dare? Did they think Gideon would back down? Pretty silly of them.

Why is it mentioned that Gideon took the ornaments off the camels' necks? Was there some special significance to that action?

I'm curious. Could you please tell me what brought you to this page by mentioning it in a comment? I won't publish the comment, if you ask me not to.
