Judges 8:21-26

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.
