Judges 8:10-27

10Now ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 were in Karkor, and their campH4264 with them, about fifteen thousandH505 [menH376], all that were leftH3498 of the whole campH4264 of the children of the eastH6924; for there had fallenH5307 a hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719.

11And GideonH1439 wentH5927 up by the wayH1870 of them that dwellH7931 in tentsH168 on the eastH6924 of NobahH5025 and JogbehahH3011, and smote the campH4264; for the campH4264 wasH1961 at its ease.

12And ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 fledH5127, and he pursuedH7291 after them, and he tookH3920 the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of MidianH4080, ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, and discomfited all the campH4264.

13And GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 returnedH7725 from the battleH4421, from the ascentH4608 of Heres.

14And he caughtH3920 a youthH5288 of the menH376 of SuccothH5523, and inquired of him; and he wroteH3789 downH3789 for him the chiefH8269 menH376 of SuccothH5523, and the eldersH2205 thereof, seventy-sevenH7657 menH376.

15And he cameH935 to the menH376 of SuccothH5523, and saidH559, Behold ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, with whom ye did upbraid me, sayingH559, Are the handsH3027 of ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 already in thy handH3027, that we should giveH5414 breadH3899 to thy menH376 that are wearyH3286?

16And he tookH3947 the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892, and thornsH6975 of the wildernessH4057 and briars, and with them he taught the menH376 of SuccothH5523.

17And he brokeH5422 down the towerH4026 of PenuelH6439, and slewH2026 the menH376 of the cityH5892.

18Then saidH559 he to ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, What sort of menH376 were they that ye slewH2026 at TaborH8396? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each oneH259 resembled the sonsH1121 of a kingH4428.

19And he saidH559, They were my brethren, the sonsH1121 of my motherH517. [As] Jehovah liveth, if ye had saved them aliveH2416, I would not slayH2026 you.

20And he saidH559 to JetherH3500 his firstbornH1060, AriseH6965, slayH2026 them! But the youthH5288 drewH8025 not his swordH2719; for he fearedH3372, because he was yetH5750 a youthH5288.

21Then ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 saidH559, RiseH6965 thou, and fallH6293 on us; for as is the manH376, so is his strengthH1369. And GideonH1439 aroseH6965, and slewH2026 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759; and he tookH3947 the moons that were on their camels' necksH6677.

22And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to GideonH1439, RuleH4910 over us, both thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy son's sonH1121 alsoH1571; for thou hast savedH3467 us from the handH3027 of MidianH4080.

23And GideonH1439 saidH559 to them, I will not ruleH4910 over you, neither shall my sonH1121 ruleH4910 over you: Jehovah will ruleH4910 over you.

24And GideonH1439 saidH559 to them, I would desire a request of you: giveH5414 me every manH376 the earringsH5141 of his bootyH7998; for they had golden earringsH5141, because they were IshmaelitesH3459.

25And they saidH559, We will willingly giveH5414 [them]. And they spreadH6566 a garmentH8071, and castH7993 therein every manH376 the earringsH5141 of his bootyH7998.

26And the weightH4948 of the golden earringsH5141 that he requested wasH1961 a thousandH505 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 [shekels] of goldH2091; besides the moons, and eardrops, and the purpleH713 garmentsH899 that were on the kingsH4428 of MidianH4080, and besides the chains that were about their camels' necksH6677.

27And GideonH1439 madeH6213 an ephodH646 of them, and put it in his cityH5892, in OphrahH6084. And all IsraelH3478 went thither a whoring after it; and it becameH1961 a snareH4170 to GideonH1439, and to his houseH1004.
