Judges - ch 8 v 21 - 35

  1. Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us; for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescents that were on their camels' necks.
  2. Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also; for thou hast saved us out of the hand of Midian.
  3. And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: Jehovah shall rule over you.
  4. And Gideon said unto them, I would make a request of you, that ye would give me every man the ear-rings of his spoil. (For they had golden ear-rings, because they were Ishmaelites.)
  5. And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the ear-rings of his spoil.
  6. And the weight of the golden ear-rings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred `shekels' of gold, besides the crescents, and the pendants, and the purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were about their camels' necks.
  7. And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel played the harlot after it there; and it became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house.
  8. So Midian was subdued before the children of Israel, and they lifted up their heads no more. And the land had rest forty years in the days of Gideon.
  9. And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
  10. And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten; for he had many wives.
  11. And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, and he called his name Abimelech.
  12. And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
  13. And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and played the harlot after the Baalim, and made Baal-berith their god.
  14. And the children of Israel remembered not Jehovah their God, who had delivered them out of the hand of all their enemies on every side;
  15. neither showed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, `who is' Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had showed unto Israel.
