Judges 8:22-24

New American Standard Bible

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.)
