Judges 8:22-24

Revised Geneva Translation

²² Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, “Reign over us, you and your son and your son’s son. For you have delivered us out of the hand of Midian.”

²³ And Gideon said to them, “I will not reign over you. Nor shall my child reign over you. The LORD shall reign over you.”

²⁴ Again, Gideon said to them, “I would ask a request of you: that you would give me the earrings from each man’s plunder (for they had golden earrings because they were Ishmaelites).”
