Judges 8:21-26

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.
