Judges 8:24-26

So they spread a garment, and each threw into it an ear-ring he had taken as booty. ²⁶ The weight of the golden ear-rings that he requested was one thousand seven hundred shekels of gold (apart from the crescents and the pendants and the purple garments worn by the kings of Midian, and the collars that were on the necks of their camels).
