Judges 8:23-25

Complete Jewish Bible

²³ Gid‘on replied, “Neither I nor my son will rule over you; Adonai will rule over you.” ²⁴ Then he added, “But I have this request to make of you, that each of you would give me the earrings from the booty you have taken.” For the enemy soldiers had worn gold earrings, like all the other tribes descended from Yishma‘el. ²⁵ They replied, “We’re glad to give them to you.” They spread out a robe, and each man threw in the earrings from his booty.
