Judges 8:18-31

18Then saidH559 he unto ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, WhatH834 manner of menH376 were they whomH834 ye slewH2026 at TaborH8396? And they answeredH559, As thou art, soH834 were they; eachH376 one resembled the childrenH1121 of a kingH4428.

19And he saidH559, They were my brethrenH251, the sonsH1121 of my motherH517: as the LORDH3068 liveth, ifH3863 ye had saved them aliveH2416, I would notH3808 slayH2026 youH3808.

20And he saidH559 unto JetherH3500 his firstbornH1060, UpH6965, and slayH2026 them. But the youthH5288 drewH8025 notH3808 his swordH2719: for he fearedH3372, becauseH3588 he was yet a youthH5288.

21Then ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 saidH559, RiseH6965 thou, and fallH6293 uponH6293 usH3588: for as the manH376 is, soH3947 is his strengthH1369. And GideonH1439 aroseH6965, and slewH2026 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, and tookH3947 the crescents that were on their camels’H1581 necksH6677.

22Then the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto GideonH1439, RuleH4910 thou over usH413, bothH1571 thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy son’sH1121 sonH1121 also: for thou hast savedH3467 usH413 outH413 of the handH3027 of MidianH4080.

23And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto them, I will notH3808 ruleH4910 over youH3808, neitherH3808 shall my sonH1121 ruleH4910 over youH3808: the LORDH3068 shall ruleH4910 over youH3808.

24And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto them, I would desire a requestH7592 of youH3588, that ye would giveH5414 meH413 everyH376 manH376 the earringsH5141 of his spoilH7998. (For they had goldenH2091 earringsH5141, becauseH3588 they were IshmaelitesH3459.)

25And they answeredH559, WeH8033 will willingly giveH5414 them. And they spreadH6566 a garmentH8071, and didH376 castH7993 therein everyH376 manH376 the earringsH5141 of his spoilH7998.

26And the weightH4948 of the goldenH2091 earringsH5141 that he requestedH7592 was a thousandH505 and sevenH7651 hundredH3967 shekelsH4948 of goldH2091; besideH5921 the crescents, and the pendantsH5188, and the purpleH713 raiment that was on the kingsH4428 of MidianH4080, and besideH5921 the chains that were aboutH1961 their camels’H1581 necksH6677.

27And GideonH1439 madeH6213 an ephodH646 thereof, and putH3322 it in his cityH5892, evenH853 in OphrahH6084: and allH3605 IsraelH3478 wentH1961 a whoring afterH310 it there: and it becameH1961 a snareH4170 unto GideonH1439, and to his houseH1004.

28SoH3808 MidianH4080 was subduedH3665 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and they liftedH5375 upH5375 their headsH7218 noH3808 moreH3254. And the landH776 had restH8252 fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the daysH3117 of GideonH1439.

29And JerubbaalH3378 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 wentH1004 and dweltH3427 in his own houseH1004.

30And GideonH1439 had threescore and ten sonsH1121 of his body begotten: for he had manyH7227 wivesH802.

31And his concubineH6370 that was in ShechemH7927, sheH1931 also bare him a sonH1121, and he calledH8034 his nameH8034 AbimelechH40.
