Judges 8:23-25
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
23 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 Then Gideon said to them, ‘Let me make a request of you; each of you give me an ear-ring he has taken as booty.’ (For the enemy[a] had golden ear-rings, because they were Ishmaelites.) 25 ‘We will willingly give them,’ they answered. So they spread a garment, and each threw into it an ear-ring he had taken as booty.

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.
