Why did you treat me so badly as to tell the man that you had another brother?

The man asked details
"The man asked many questions"
We answered him according to these questions
"We answered the questions he asked us"
How could we have known that he would say
The sons use a question for emphasis. Alternate translation: "We did not know he would say." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
