Judges 8:18-31

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.

28And MidianH4080 was subduedH3665 before the children of IsraelH3478, and they liftedH5375 up their headsH7218 no more. And the landH776 had rest fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the daysH3117 of GideonH1439.

29And JerubbaalH3378 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 went and dweltH3427 in his houseH1004.

30Now GideonH1439 had seventyH7657 sonsH1121 who had come out of his loins, for he had manyH7227 wivesH802.

31And his concubineH6370 that was in ShechemH7927, she alsoH1571 boreH3205 him a sonH1121, and he gaveH3205 him the nameH8034 of AbimelechH40.
