Judges 8:23-25

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²³ And Gideon said to them, I will not rule over you, and my son will not rule over you; the Lord will rule over you.

²⁴ And Gideon said to them, Let me make a request of you—every man of you give me the earrings of his spoil. For [the Midianites] had gold earrings because they were Ishmaelites [general term for all descendants of Keturah].

²⁵ And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and every man cast on it the earrings of his spoil.
