22And the men of Israel said to Gideon, Rule, my lord, over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son; for thou hast saved us out of the hand of Midian.
23And Gideon said to them, I will not rule, and my son shall not rule among you; the Lord shall rule over you.
— Judges 8:24 —
25And they said, We will certainly give them: and he opened his garment, and each man cast therein an earring of his spoils.
26And the weight of the golden earrings which he asked, was a thousand and seven hundred pieces of gold, besides the crescents, and the chains, and the garments, and the purple cloths that were on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were on the necks of their camels.
