Judges 8:25 WBT

²³  And Gideon said to them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.

²⁴  And Gideon said to them, I would desire a request of you, that you would give me every man the ear-rings of his prey. (For they had golden ear-rings, because they [were] Ishmaelites.)

²⁵  And they answered, We will willingly give [them]. And they spread a garment, and cast into it every man the ear-rings of his prey.

²⁶  And the weight of the golden ear-rings that he requested, was a thousand and seven hundred [shekels] of gold; besides ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that [was] on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that [were] about their camels' necks.

²⁷  And Gideon made of it an ephod, and put it in his city, [even] in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither astray after it: which thing became a snare to Gideon, and to his house.
