Judges 8:22-27
22Then the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to GideonH1439, “RuleH4910 over us, bothH1571 you and your sonH1121, your son’sH1121 sonH1121 asH1571 wellH1571, for you have savedH3467 us from the handH3027 of MidianH4080!”
23But GideonH1439 saidH559 to them, “I will not ruleH4910 over you, norH3808 shall my sonH1121 ruleH4910 over you; 1the LordH3068 shall ruleH4910 over you.”
24Yet GideonH1439 saidH559 to them, “I would 2requestH7596H7592 of you, that eachH376 of you giveH5414 me 3an earringH5141 from his plunderH7998.” (For they had goldH2091 earringsH5141, becauseH3588 they were 4IshmaelitesH3459.)
25And they saidH559, “We will certainlyH5414 giveH5414 them to you.” So they spreadH6566 outH6566 a garmentH8071, and everyH376 oneH376 of them tossedH7993 an earringH5141 thereH8033 from his plunderH7998.
26The weightH4948 of the goldH2091 earringsH5141 that he requestedH7592 was 1,700H505H7651H3967 shekels of goldH2091, apartH905 from the crescentH7720 amuletsH7720, the earH5188 pendantsH5188, and the purpleH713 robesH899 whichH7945 were on the kingsH4428 of MidianH4080, and apartH905 from the neckH6060 chainsH6060 that were on their camels’H1581 necksH6677.
27GideonH1439 madeH6213 it into 5an ephodH646, and placedH3322 it in his cityH5892, OphrahH6084; but allH3605 IsraelH3478 6committed infidelityH2181 with it thereH8033, and it becameH1961 a snareH4170 to GideonH1439 and his householdH1004.
