Judges 8:24-33
24Yet GideonH1439 saidH559 to them, “I would 1requestH7596H7592 of you, that eachH376 of you giveH5414 me 2an earringH5141 from his spoilH7998.” (For they had goldH2091 earringsH5141, becauseH3588 they were 3IshmaelitesH3459.) 25They saidH559, “We will surelyH5414 giveH5414 them.” So they spreadH6566 out a garmentH8071, and everyH376 oneH376 of them threwH7993 an earringH5141 thereH8033 from his spoilH7998. 26The weightH4948 of the goldH2091 earringsH5141 that he requestedH7592 was 1,700H505H7651H3967 shekels of goldH2091, besidesH905H4480 the crescentH7720 ornamentsH7720 and the pendantsH5188 and the purpleH713 robesH899 whichH7945 were on the kingsH4428 of MidianH4080, and besidesH905H4480 the neckH6060 bandsH6060 that were on their camels’H1581 necksH6677. 27GideonH1439 madeH6213 it into 4an ephodH646, and placedH3322 it in his cityH5892, OphrahH6084, and allH3605 IsraelH3478 playedH2181 the harlotH2181 with it thereH8033, so that it becameH1961 a snareH4170 to GideonH1439 and his householdH1004. 28So MidianH4080 was subduedH3665 beforeH6440 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, and they did not liftH5375 up their headsH7218 anymoreH3254. And the landH776 was undisturbedH8252 for fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the daysH3117 of GideonH1439.
29Then 5JerubbaalH3378 the sonH1121 of JoashH3060 wentH1980 and livedH3427 in his own houseH1004. 30Now GideonH1439 hadH1961 6seventyH7657 sonsH1121 who 7were his directH3409 descendantsH3318, for he hadH1961 manyH7227 wivesH802. 31His concubineH6370 whoH834 was in ShechemH7927 alsoH1571 boreH3205 him a sonH1121, and he 8namedH8034H7760 him AbimelechH40. 32And GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3060 diedH4191 at a ripeH2896 oldH7872 ageH7872 and was buriedH6912 in the tombH6913 of his fatherH1 JoashH3060, in OphrahH6084 of the AbiezritesH33.
33Then it cameH1961 about, as soonH3512 as GideonH1439 was deadH4191, 9that the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 againH7725 playedH2181 the harlotH2181 with the BaalsH1168, and madeH7760 10Baal-berithH1170 their godH430.
