briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth. Judges 8:17
17 And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city. Judges
8:18
18 Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye
slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled
the children  of a king.
Judges 8:19
19 And he said, They were my brethren, even the sons of my mother: as the LORD
liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you. Judges 8:20
20 And he said unto Jether his firstborn, Up, and slay them. But the youth drew
not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth. Judges 8:21
21 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
away  the ornaments  that were on their camels'  necks. Judges 8:22
22 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 delivered us from the hand of
Midian.
Judges 8:23
23 And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son
rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you. Judges 8:24
24 And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would
give me every man the earrings of his prey. (For they had golden earrings,
because they were Ishmaelites.)
Judges 8:25
25 And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment,
and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey. Judges 8:26
26 And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and
seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple
raiment that was on the kings  of Midian,  and beside the chains  that were
about their camels'  necks.
Judges 8:27
27 And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah:
and all Israel went thither a whoring after it: which thing became a snare unto
Gideon, and to his house.
Judges 8:28
28 Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted
up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the
days  of Gideon.
Judges 8:29
29 And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house. Judges 8:30
30 And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many
wives.
Judges 8:31
31 And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name
he called Abimelech.
Judges 8:32
32 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. Judges 8:33
33 And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel
turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baalberith their god.
Judges 8:34
34 And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had
delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side: Judges 8:35
35 Neither shewed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon,
according to all the goodness which he had shewed unto Israel.
