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.

Judges 8:23-25
New International Version
23 But Gideon told them, “I will not rule over you, nor will my son rule over you. The Lord will rule(A) over you.” 24 And he said, “I do have one request, that each of you give me an earring(B) from your share of the plunder.(C)” (It was the custom of the Ishmaelites(D) to wear gold earrings.)
25 They answered, “We’ll be glad to give them.” So they spread out a garment, and each of them threw a ring from his plunder onto it.
