Judges 8:22-35
New International Version
Gideon’s Ephod
22 The Israelites said to Gideon, “Rule over us—you, your son and your grandson—because you have saved us from the hand of Midian.”
23 But Gideon told them, “I will not rule over you, nor will my son rule over you. The Lord will rule(A) over you.” 24 And he said, “I do have one request, that each of you give me an earring(B) from your share of the plunder.(C)” (It was the custom of the Ishmaelites(D) to wear gold earrings.)
25 They answered, “We’ll be glad to give them.” So they spread out a garment, and each of them threw a ring from his plunder onto it. 26 The weight of the gold rings he asked for came to seventeen hundred shekels,[a] not counting the ornaments, the pendants and the purple garments worn by the kings of Midian or the chains(E) that were on their camels’ necks. 27 Gideon made the gold into an ephod,(F) which he placed in Ophrah,(G) his town. All Israel prostituted themselves by worshiping it there, and it became a snare(H) to Gideon and his family.(I)
Gideon’s Death
28 Thus Midian was subdued before the Israelites and did not raise its head(J) again. During Gideon’s lifetime, the land had peace(K) forty years.
29 Jerub-Baal(L) son of Joash(M) went back home to live. 30 He had seventy sons(N) of his own, for he had many wives. 31 His concubine,(O) who lived in Shechem, also bore him a son, whom he named Abimelek.(P) 32 Gideon son of Joash died at a good old age(Q) and was buried in the tomb of his father Joash in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
33 No sooner had Gideon died than the Israelites again prostituted themselves to the Baals.(R) They set up Baal-Berith(S) as their god(T) 34 and did not remember(U) the Lord their God, who had rescued them from the hands of all their enemies on every side. 35 They also failed to show any loyalty to the family of Jerub-Baal(V) (that is, Gideon) in spite of all the good things he had done for them.(W)

22 Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, “Rule over us, both you and your son, your son’s son as well, for you have saved us from the hand of Midian!” 23 But Gideon said to them, “I will not rule over you, nor shall my son rule over you; (A)the Lord shall rule over you.” 24 Yet Gideon said to them, “I would [a]request of you, that each of you give me [b]an earring from his plunder.” (For they had gold earrings, because they were (B)Ishmaelites.) 25 And they said, “We will certainly give them to you.” So they spread out a garment, and every one of them tossed an earring there from his plunder. 26 The weight of the gold earrings that he requested was 1,700 shekels of gold, apart from the crescent amulets, the ear pendants, and the purple robes which were on the kings of Midian, and apart from the neck chains that were on their camels’ necks. 27 Gideon made it into (C)an ephod, and placed it in his city, Ophrah; but all Israel [c]committed infidelity with it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his household.
Forty Years of Peace
28 So Midian was subdued before the sons of Israel, and they did not lift up their heads anymore. And the land was undisturbed for forty years in the days of Gideon.
29 Then (D)Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and lived in his own house. 30 Now Gideon had (E)seventy sons who [d]were his direct descendants, for he had many wives. 31 And his concubine who was in Shechem also bore him a son, and he [e]named him Abimelech. 32 And Gideon the son of Joash died at a good old age and was buried in the tomb of his father Joash, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
33 Then it came about, as soon as Gideon was dead, (F)that the sons of Israel again [f]committed infidelity with the Baals, and made (G)Baal-berith their god. 34 So the sons of Israel (H)did not remember the Lord their God, who had saved them from the hands of all their enemies on every side; 35 (I)nor did they show kindness to the household of Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) in accordance with all the good that he had done for Israel.
