Judges 8:24-26

Tree of Life Version

^{[a] 24} Yet 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. ²⁶ So the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was 1,700 shekels of gold—besides the crescent ornaments, the pendants and the purple robes that were on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were on their camels’ necks.
