Judges 8:24-26
1599 Geneva Bible
24 Again Gideon said unto them, [a]I would desire a request of you, that you would give me every man the earrings of his prey (for they [had] golden earrings because they were Ishmaelites.)
25 And they answered, We will give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey.
26 And the weight of the golden earrings that he required, was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold, beside collars [b]and jewels, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that were about the camels’ necks.
