Judges 8:22-27

22Then the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto GideonH1439, RuleH4910 thou over us, both thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy son’sH1121 sonH1121 also: for thou hast deliveredH3467 us from the handH3027 of MidianH4080. 23And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto them, I will not ruleH4910 over you, neither shall my sonH1121 ruleH4910 over you: YhwhH3068 shall ruleH4910 over you.

24And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto them, I would desireH7592 a requestH7596 of you, that ye would giveH5414 me every manH376 the earringsH5141 of his preyH7998. (For they had goldenH2091 earringsH5141, because they were IshmaelitesH3459.) 25And they answeredH559, We will willinglyH5414 giveH5414 them. And they spreadH6566 a garmentH8071, and did castH7993 therein every manH376 the earringsH5141 of his preyH7998. 26And the weightH4948 of the goldenH2091 earringsH5141 that he requestedH7592 was a thousandH505 and sevenH7651 hundredH3967 shekels of goldH2091; beside ornamentsH7720, and collarsH5188, and purpleH713 raimentH899 that was on the kingsH4428 of MidianH4080, and beside the chainsH6060 that were about their camels’H1581 necksH6677.1 27And GideonH1439 madeH6213 an ephodH646 thereof, and putH3322 it in his cityH5892, even in OphrahH6084: and all IsraelH3478 went thither a whoringH2181 afterH310 it: which thing became a snareH4170 unto GideonH1439, and to his houseH1004.
