Judges 8:23-25

Tree of Life Version

²³But Gideon replied to them, “I will not rule over you, nor will my son rule over you. Adonai alone will rule over you.” ^[a] ²⁴Yet Gideon said to them, “I would make a request of you, that you would give me every man an earring from his spoil.” (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)

²⁵“We’ll certainly give them!” they replied. So they spread out a robe, and each one of them threw an earring from his spoil.
